Because the patent system protects your patented inventions and prevents others from using your innovative inventions (whether by unlicensed plagiarism or deconstructing your patented product/program by reverse engineering methods) for their benefit. In fact, the patentee has the exclusive right to prevent others from making, using, or otherwise commercially exploiting his patented invention in the area where the patent was granted.
