It's because they're built to be cheap so they're cheaply built. They're impossible to maintain, and quickly deteriorate.
My sister and her family live in a single-wide, and they have constant wiring and plumbing problems. There isn't a lick of "normal" piping, wiring, or fixtures in the thing. Everything is "custom", just enough different from standard stuff that it can't be replaced with standard stuff, and it's poor quality garbage.
For example it has shallow outlet boxes and special shallow outlets. Standard hardware store duplex outlets are too deep for the boxes, and there is no extra wire in the boxes anyway so you can't work on the outlet outside of the box.
Some former friends of mine bought one when they were first married; you had to be careful where you stepped or you went through the floor. I've never been in one that wasn't a hovel.
If mobile homes were so great, then why did DeltaSteve and his wife have to abandon theirs and get another one?
Long story short they are short term housing, but people think they're "forever homes." Then they wonder why the place is falling apart around them. It started falling apart the minute it pulled onto the road out of the factory lot.
