Because people have to do something to put bread on the table and cooking in a restaurant is one of the jobs where they'll hire you without qualifications because they're always looking for new staff because people hate it, especially the conditions.
I've been doing this for 30 years, what you're describing is the situation in the front of the house more often than not, but I've mostly worked fine dining so maybe i don't see how it is for those who work, say, at the Cheesecake Factory... How many tv shows are there about front of the house? Every day is sunny? How many are there about BOH? So many I can't even count. But hey I'm sorry your being paid so lousy in the kitchen but what you're describing isn't the job, it's the coercion of capitalism.๐ด๐ด๐ด
