Because it is not the best solution for most computer problems.
Simple as that.
I am a functional and OOP programmer myself. I find functional way more elegant for modeling most mathematical problems, but OOP way better at modeling real life things with states.
OOP and states introduce lots of problems and complexity, but the solution is not removing states, or a series of complex mathematical entelechies.
In fact "removing states" is not really removing them. It is creating new objects with static states on it. It makes it super hard to model real life.
(dynamic)States exist in real life. Temperature, pressure, height, volume, brightness, weight...
There are programmers that understand programs as a religion, they only program in one system ans believe it is the best thing in the world and everybody should be forced to use it. I feels sorry for them and the people that depend on them.
The solution will be new paradigms that are neither OOP nor FP.

It's more like, states better match our more common way to model our sense-data. It's easier to grasp for us, but it doesn't mean it's the way that will cause provide the best desirable results.
If you take the example of mass in physic, most of the time it's perfectly fine to deal with it as an first class attribute of an object. But it's not how Higgs mechanism aboard the notion.
