Because a license to decrypt the DVD is not included in the price of the DVD.
The DVD player under your TV, PowerDVD and WinDVD etc on your XP box, have all paid for the ability to decrypt DVD's so they can be watched legally.
Linux being free can't pay for these licenses, so you either have to buy a linux dvd player which covers their cost of the license, or do it illegally using software which has cracked the code.
