Because the law states they can't.
A price increase is a detrimental change to your contract, which means that you have the option of breaking the contract. They can't charge you for doing so, it's basic contract law, and no terms in a contract can over ride your rights in law. Any term that said you'd have to pay cancellation fees for cancelling due to price rises would be classed as an unfair term and be deemed unenforceable.
