Because of the fear you will be bullied too, that you might have made a mistake which could humiliate you or you hope the other person is/can deal with it themselves and if not, they should get help themselves. People often don't want to get involved in other people's business.

Because people are scared they'll start nagging you instead. If you see someone who is being bullied, and want to help just image it is your best friend who would do anything for you. That might get you to feel more confident about helping as well.

Most times, it's out of fear, in my personal experience. I've been bullied before, and I don't want to possibly subject myself to this treatment if I don't have to.
Sometimes, I start to just try and convince myself that my perception of what I see isn't accurate.
At the end of the day, though, I prefer to ask the person I see getting bullied.

Possibly it is fear of getting bullied, or gaining a negative reputation with those who are on the same side as the bully.

Because you know the bullies might go after you if you do. Also, just confronting someone and telling them they're doing something wrong is hard for most people, even if the person they're confronting is not a bully.
