Because the OHP is a full body exercise, not an isolation exercise. The core should be doing a large portion of the work. If you're struggling with technique, the last thing you want to do cut corners by using a belt.
If you want to build just your shoulder strength / size, then a seated press is more efficient.
People seem to use belts as fashion accessories, they would be much stronger all around if core strength and flexibility was improved, then belts would be unnecessary.
