    Because (not sure if all of these are still true, but they were at one time):

    • Limited to 1GB of memory
    • Database size limited to 4GB (10GB in newer versions)
    • It can only use one CPU
    • No importing or exporting of data
    • No job scheduler

    There are a lot of applications for which the above factors make SQL Server Express impractical.
