Because the fucking Imperial government was trash. You think I'm defending Japan? Fuck no. But it's a historical fact that the ONLY thing stopping them from surrendering at that point was their worry that surrendering would mean the US forcing them to remove the emperor. What they didn't know, and what the US refused to tell them, was that they didn't give two shits about the emperor. In fact, their demand for Japan's surrender included a statement that the Emperor would retain his place. That little note was only removed when the nuclear tests came back to the President, letting him know that the bombs would work.
