Because "worse" is already the comparative form of "bad". Most comparatives in English are formed by adding the suffix "-er" to the adjective. But in the case of "good" and "bad", they are so commonly used that the ancient irregular comparatives "better" and "worse" continue to be used. Little children sometimes try to assimilate the irregular form to the regular one by adding "-er" to worse. But they are usually cured of this error by the time they are 4 or 5.
