Because .NET wouldn't have been practical in any way.

JScript is a scripting language, .NET is not.
A scripting language means it can be executed without the need to compile the code first. This is not the case with .NET.

Second, compatibility: .NET Framework is/was not installed by default in XP (not to mention it is massively huge to install/update).

And since the Windows scripting languages (JScript, VBScript, CScript) are by default installed on every Windows OS, it's the logic choice. Finally, seeing he comes from (V)C++ the choice of JScript makes a lot of sense (opposed to VBScript).
