Shakespeare's plays are performed every day all around the world. His sonnets are read by people all of the time. Lines from them are quoted by English speakers constantly. His work is much more alive than the work of many authors writing today.

Why do Shakespeares's plays always have 5 acts?

Dividing plays into acts, specifically five acts, was a printing convention of the time. They thought they were imitating the divisions of classical plays. In fact, Shakespeare did not compose in acts. (There were no act breaks in the Elizabethan Theater.) Shakespeare actually wrote in Scenes, more along the a Master Scene film script today.
