Because the alienated parent has no other way to get access to their children except the court system.
It's not just high conflict divorce (which is a legal issue so of course in court spoke about by attorneys) it happens all the time when there is no other problem accept one parent doesn't respect or allow the other parent access.
You made a good point but I heard no possible solutions. Yes, it's child abuse and some judges do go way too far and take way too long before insisting on mental health assessment. But it's in court that it has to be requested and ordered. Then there is the issue of who's going to pay for it. And how little access anyone has to mental health professionals.
The court is the only option.

It's pretty simple... Keep kids out of adult issues. If not, it should be considered abuse. You order your kid to lie to the other parent... Abuse. You tell your kid how awful the other parent is because of whatever your reasons... Abuse. Simple.
