Because the game uses a simplified financial system to give the feeling of having to manage the finances of a ball club.
Consider: teams in OOTP have just three revenue streams: ticket sales (i.e. attendance), a media contract, and merchandising. That's it. Real world clubs have ticket sales, local media contracts, national media contracts, concessions, luxury suites and club seats, stadium naming rights, advertising, promotions, sponsorships, and merchandising (both on the local level and league level). Some clubs also get stadium parking revenue.
Now, some of these areas could be combined, but even then, there'd still be more revenue streams than OOTP offers at the moment.
And this doesn't even touch the expenses side of the ledger.
