No as it is the light refracting (slowing down) through the raindrops. The different colours in the white light travel at different speeds through the raindrop, which causes them to split up into the different colours of the rainbow. Obviously if the light didn't slow down it would continue as white light.

Two possible answers. 1. Because. 2. Rainbows need no reason to exist. They just do.
