Because there may be any level of filtering or translation between you and the remote host, the only way to determine whether you can connect to a specific host is to actually try to connect. If the connection succeeds, then you can, else you can’t.
Pinging isn’t sufficient because ICMP ECHO requests may be blocked yet TCP connections might go through fine.
