Same reason that Dwarf Fortress also has the same problem. Simulation is a lot heavier than graphics, and it's CPU heavy, but gaming computer usually have acceptable CPUs and powerhouse GPUs, so they bottleneck on the CPU with simulation games.
I have an i9 13900, so uh, it isn't exactly a mid tier CPU.
Stellaris just can't have a full, long game without eating shit at the end frame wise.
edit: i9 13980HK, slightly wrong model, point stands as its a very high end CPU that'll beat the snot out of anything normal. Stellaris is actually just brutal to run end game.
