Because tickets for a 3 day festival cost £100-150...depending. That money is paid by roughly 130,000 people. The money brought in pays for a gazillion different bands/acts/djs/sideshows and the like spread over (what seems like) half of somerset.
The stones, on past experience, appear to charge an arm and a leg to appear; thus if they *were* to appear at glastonbury, the amount paid to other acts would suffer, or the amount/quality of other acts/events would decrease.
As the bill of the festival is traditionally not made public until *after* the tickets have all been sold, there is only one way I can see the stones playing and that's
a) for free (or cheap)
b) for the sake of their credibility.
Y'all are entitled to your opinion as to the validity of (b) above.
