Because words are incapable of describing God in His entirety.
If you are blessed to have experienced a miracle yourself in terms of a vision or a dream, you are left with a feeling which cannot be explained in words but inside you know perfectly the “emotion” that God imprinted on you.
When you also look into the testimony of near death experiences, many people describe a sense of understanding and communication without words in their experience and they can’t put it into words.
They say things like “time was meaningless” or “God spoke to me telepathically” or “I could travel anywhere”
These experiences attempt to describe something which can’t be put into words.
Mat 13:10-17 KJV
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15. For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
tldr:
Some people don't want to hear the truth. This method of communication makes it easy to ignore for those who want to ignore it. Only those who want the truth will find it.

Matthew 13:16-17 Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
John 12:38b-40 “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord
been revealed?” For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says: “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
Why does god pick and choose who to smitten, who to corrupt while those with equal or greater sin lets them go about their life in the usual oblivious way? So childish and demonstrative way to reveal himself.
wow, way off from His character, in Him there is NO darkness.
It is the adversary who only comes to steal, kill and destroy.

If there is no God, it doesn't matter. If there is a God, who are you to say he cannot do whatever he want with what he created?
That's like asking why I would choose one computer to have more RAM than the computer I took a ram chip out of. Those are my computers. I can do whatever I want with them, and I have a purpose for that computer that requires more RAM.
To whom much has been given, from him much shall be required. Those who have little, through no fault of their own, and have endured great hardship, God is probably not expecting them to do great things to help others.
And if you want childish, let's talk about the human criticizing that God who created him. That's very much like a child, criticizing his parents. I know a lot of children who do that.
If you don't believe in God, then how could he do any of those things you said he did?
If you believe in God but don't believe the Bible came from God, how do you believe any of those things written in the Bible were things that God actually did?
Either way your arguments are logically flawed.
Well, let me start answering by saying, humans have intelligence and feelings, just like you don't want to be bullied by anyone. Saying that " If there is a God, who are you to say he cannot do whatever he want with what he created?", that is masochistic.
Many people believe that there is no such thing as the devil, or satan. If anything it is God's front for the evil that he does or commands to his angels.
