The same reason he doesn't even mention, let alone address two dozen different postmodern thinkers or doesn't actually criticize Foucault's or Derrida's concepts and theories, resorting instead to throwing around colorful epithets and describing how he feels about it. As >>10263269 said postmodernism is just a code word for "anything I think is bad" among his followers. Personally I think that's deliberate and very clever: postmodernism is rather hard to define qualitatively, many pomo phil works have obvious common faults like a penchant for obscurantist language and are dense enough to dissuade anyone without strong special interest from factually engaging with them. Plus as an -ism it sounds high-brow and "sciency". It's pretty much as perfect an alternative for "degeneracy" as one could hope in Peterson's place.
