Because charges may be of two kinds i.e. positive and negative. And base quantities never have different kinds but are only of one kinds i.e. length, mass,time etc. That's why charges' are expressed in the dimensions of current and Time and not carry there own dimension.

Why current is base quantity not a charge?

Current is considered a base quantity because it is a fundamental physical quantity that cannot be defined in terms of other physical quantities. It describes the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit and is measured in units of amperes (A). Charge, on the other hand, is a derived quantity that depends on current and time, making current the more fundamental quantity.


Is electric charge scalar or vector quantity?

Charge is a Scalar Quantity as it only have Magnitude not Direction.Like in 10 Coulomb of Charge, it has 10 as magnitude and Coulomb as Unit. But this is not showing any information which tell us that it is in a particular direction.
