Because you failed at grammar? ;-) Engineers and programmers prefer passive voice, it’s endemic.
“Why I program”
Would be the active form.

An example of passive voice would be “Why programming is done by me.” And of course no one would write that.
You may prefer “Why I program”, which is indeed more concise and straightforward. But that's a stylistic preference, not a difference between active and passive voice.
For a similar example, consider “Why I do science”. Here there isn't a convenient way to shorten it, but it's still active voice.
In general, for any X, “Why I do X” is active voice, and “Why X is done by me” is passive voice.
