Because SUN, in their infinite wisdom, decided that Scheme didn't look like Java enough, and that the next generation lisp should serve as an indirect advertisement to their lisp/c++ hybrid. This is the actual literal factual reason.
Nowadays some mobile ARM processors have hardware acceleration for JavaScript. Had SUN not been there, people would now be walking around with lisp machines in their pockets.
