Because average returns don't reflect compounding.
Consider a Portfolio worth $100 that is worth $300 after year one and stays at that number for 10 years. Or, consider a portfolio that makes you 20% every year.
Both have average returns of 20%, one portfolio is worth a whole lot more after 10 years.
