Lot’s of reasons.
You need to be trained to operate a parachute correctly or will seriously injure yourself - you’re in better hands to trust a pilot.
The slip stream would just slam the jumper back against the plane causing serious injury.
The weight of all the parachute would cause ticket prices to rise.
Space limitations would make airplanes even more crowded.

Both really, but nobody sane jumps out of a functioning aircraft going at cruising speed.
Well, except paratroopers, but I repeat myself... Nobody sane.
