Because it uses an extremely detailed 3d map of literally the entire planet, which can't (yet) be stored on a modern gaming pc offline.
I don't see why it can't download each map individually. Like say you only fly in los angeles, it downloads only los angeles. Maybe it will still be a lot of data and you got a point.
Do we know how big the file is?
It was over 2 petabytes in 2020 so at least that big.
