Because of one issue: War.
Both Biden and Bernie have expressed an alarming eagerness to start a war with China and no matter who you are that is not something you want.
Biden during the debates and Bernie on 60 minutes. Both of these two lifetime career politicians seem to be chomping at the bit to deal with China, and that is not good.
In 2016 a libertarian writer wrote this about Trump:
She was completely wrong, and I might end up being wrong as well, but as of right now, Trump has been the most anti-war president we've had in a long time. Trump has not ended the perpetual US war in Afghanistan, but no president is going to do that, as war is very profitable for many politically powerful groups.
Trump obviously likes military displays - the jets flying overhead, the parades, the tanks, the show of it all, but he is reluctant when it comes to using them, and that is the best thing you can ask for in a president.
China is not Afghanistan, with guys driving around in pickup trucks armed with AK47s and IEDs. China is a powerful communist country with a massive army and nuclear weapons.
There will be no winner in a war with China, only degrees of losing.
Better the devil you know, than the one you don't.

The world expected President Obama to bring peace. Instead, he made war. When this Nobel Peace Prize recipient leaves the Oval Office, he will have the dubious distinction of having served as the longest wartime president in the history of the United States.
Is it possible that the reverse would happen with Donald Trump if he gets elected? Would he bring peace when the world expects him to make war?
Some anti-war activists on both the right and the left hope so. They are kidding themselves.
Make no mistake: Trump's bellicosity, hair-trigger temperament, disturbing tendency to see the world as "us versus them," and, above all, his militant protectionism will mean more war, not less.
The foolishness of Trump-loving peaceniks
