it was FBI g-man Elliot Ness
They didn't...The Untouchables was a book written Oscar Fraley w/ Elliot Ness which lavishly embellished his (Ness) role in bringing Capone down. Ness had a big ego & probably wanted to make some money . The real person (s) that brought down Capone were Elmer Irey (Treasury agent) and George E. Q. Johnson (U.S. Attorney).
It was not the FBI, it was Elliot Ness (et al) who worked for the US Treasury. The functions of federal firearms and alcohol (formerly prohibition) enforcement later transitioned to become todays Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Exploives (ATF) which moved from the Treasury to Department of Justice in 2004. Later at the end of his career Ness did work for the FBI, but not in the Capone time period.
Al Capone is believed to have made multiple attempts on Elliott Ness's life, though specific numbers are not well-documented. Ness, a federal agent, led a team known as the "Untouchables" that targeted Capone's illegal operations during Prohibition. While there are accounts of threats and attempts to intimidate Ness, concrete evidence of direct assassination attempts is scarce. Ultimately, Ness's determination and law enforcement efforts contributed to Capone's eventual downfall.
The man credited with arresting Al Capone was federal agent Eliot Ness. Ness led a team known as the "Untouchables," who were tasked with enforcing Prohibition laws and ultimately targeting Capone's illegal activities, particularly his bootlegging operations. While Capone was eventually convicted for tax evasion, Ness played a significant role in disrupting Capone's criminal empire.
Elliot Ness was an American Prohibition agent. He is famous for his efforts of enforcing prohibition in Chicago in the 1930s.

Elliot Ness was famous for his role as a federal agent during the Prohibition era in the United States. He led a team known as "The Untouchables," which was tasked with enforcing Prohibition laws and combating organized crime, particularly focusing on notorious gangsters like Al Capone in Chicago. Ness's reputation for integrity and his relentless pursuit of justice made him a legendary figure in law enforcement history. His efforts contributed to the eventual downfall of Capone's criminal empire.
In the 1987 film "The Untouchables," Elliot Ness's wife, Catherine Ness, was portrayed by actress Patricia Clarkson. Her character plays a supportive role as Ness, played by Kevin Costner, battles against Al Capone in Prohibition-era Chicago. Clarkson's performance adds depth to Ness's personal struggles amidst the intense law enforcement challenges he faces.
Because he's fighting evil.
You might say a woman was more interested in "harpy-ness" (acting like a Harpy) than "happiness", or say that when Elliot Ness was upset he was not a very happy Ness.
