Prioritisation, QA cycles, and resource availability. Modders do not have deadlines, do their own QA, and work all sorts of hours in order to do what they do (often, as many hours as is necessary). If modders were told to work on the same thing the devs were (hypothetically - obviously not a useful or even realistic suggestion), you'd see a rapid drop in productivity.

Also modders don't test their mods on all possible platforms and different variants of platforms (like resolution or particular hardware). This eats a lot of time in regular development.
