Because it gets absolutely squashed by Grass Knot and Thunderbolt, and powerful special attacks in general. Azelf, Raikou, Zapdos, Porygon-Z, Alakazam, Gengar...all run it over. CMers like Mesprit can drill it too.
Milotic is much better for taking physical hits along with special hits, it can't really wall only one side of the spectrum well IMO. If you play to its strengths (Marvel Scale, good stats, decent movepool with Recover and Hypnosis...) it can really work.
Not much really does cut it as a special wall these days, but Milotic just...has trouble, at least doing just that. As a bulky water, it is tremendous.
EDIT: You can smash special walls with Mirror Coat Milotic, actually a pretty good set, but very risky. But as a true special wall...meh.
