When a batted ball strikes a runner, the runner is (often) out. When a pitched ball strikes a runner, the ball is dead and other runners advance 1 base.

As dash said: it's just the rule. I expect it evolved to penalize pitchers who threw at the runner stealing home in order to send him back to 3B.
