The soliloquy itself tells us why. "Is it not monstrous that this player here, in a fiction, in a dream of passion, could force his soul so to his own conceit that from her working all his visage wanned, tears in his eyes, distraction in his aspect, a broken voice, and his whole function serving with forms to his conceit. And all for nothing! For Hecuba! What's Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba that he should weep for her?"
The player presents the image of a man in the grip of a great emotion. But it is all false--he is an actor, not the real Aeneas. But Hamlet is the real Hamlet and so he asks, "What would he do had he the motive and the cue for passion that I have?" If the actor had Hamlet's troubles, wouldn't he be even more passionate? But Hamlet upbraids himself for peaking like John a' Dreams and saying nothing. He should be screaming! He should be cursing like a very drab! He should call Claudius a villain, a bloody, bawdy villain, a lecherous, treacherous, kindless villain! He should scream out for vengeance!
