It's because Hubble is in an orbit that would be difficult for another vessel to reach, should the shuttle sent to service it become damaged and in need of assistance.
NASA has become so risk-averse it's in danger of disappearing up its own bottom. They have absolutely no chance of getting to Mars in their current frame of mind. If this lot had been running the show in the 1960s its a sure bet no-one would have landed on the moon either.
