I can think of a few reasons myself. For one thing it might simply be too complicated to be poly, either due to logistics, or because of the emotional tangles involved in sorting out priorities and making sure that people don't feel neglected or hurt. Another thing is that poly is probably quite rare, and makes many people feel quite uneasy, so your chances of getting a relationship might actually be increased if you stick to monogamy as the pool of potential candidates is larger. Then there's always the chance that you'll meet The One and simply not want anyone else.
