Probably because all of the requirements to update are not being met. This includes:

You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (and not a personal hotspot)
The phone must be charged to at least 50%, and preferably plugged in so it stays above 50% during the update
The phone must not be in Low Power Mode
The phone must not be connected through VPN
The phone cannot be in Airplane mode
