Why?

because you can't put metal containers in a microwave oven. they reflect
the microwaves instead of letting them pass through into the stuff inside.
I've never tried putting a metal container in a microwave but its supposed
to be noisy and ruin the microwave oven. There is one exception which is a
metal container with a sepcial coating for microwaves. I have an aluminum
pie plate coated for microwave use which I put under other containers
sometimes to catch drips of condensation.
