Because it's a markup language - a language to describe something (a web page in this particular case). And it's not programming language, because you can't create a program with it, I.e calculate 3+4.

HTML provides a way to display content. It specifies the layout of a page, a webpage in particular. Programming languages contain instructions to perform a task, like examining whether 5>4 or printing "Hello World!" on the screen. These cannot be done in HTML without JavaScript, which is a scripting language and can perform some of the tasks that a programming language can.

The reason HTML is not a programming language is because it doesn't work the same way most programming language do. HTML is a markup language, meaning that it uses tags to contain information for certain elements. Programming languages take a set of instructions for them to follow and execute them to the best of their abilities, which will output something different from most markup languages.
