The simplest reason is weight. Bombs are heavy and weight and balance is more critical on a helicopter than fixed wing aircraft.

Mi 24 Hind ..is capable of delivering bombs, and they were delivering them during the Russian - Afghan war. Either 4x 500lbs or 2x1000lbs bombs were used as a payload, and Fuel-air version of the 1000lbs bomb. the trouble with helicopter bombing is that the helicopter needs to fly high above the target, and it is slow. Thus, the helicopter exposes itself to any AAA that is present in the area. Because of it, helicopter bombing is practical only in situations where enemy Air defense is totally absent.
