Because it keeps absorbing heat.... without getting warmer.
It has it's uses in cryogenics, or computing... but that energy has to go somewhere. And if it gets out by suddenly and explosively self-destructing once it's full or past breaking point.
But I wouldn't want a chunk of it to get loose in the general evironment. As it will instantly bring anything in contact with it down to 0k. Which will bring anything in contact with it down to a temperature just above 0k, depending on how good an insulator that material is.
Then, after condensing tons of solid frozen gas from the atmosphere, it violently explodes as all that energy gets out
