Because kids like to play "good guy / bad guy" games (cops and robbers,
cowboys and indians, etc) and locking people up is part of that game's
scenario. The bad guy locks up the good guy as part of the evil plan, and the
good guy escapes, and the bad guy gets locked in the end for all the naughty
things he did. So, it's just about playability for kids.
However, I agree that as adults we are probably all awash with jail doors. I
was looking at my collection the other day and was debating whether I should
build Alcatraz.
