Because a coordinated 51% attack (usually so massive and more complex as bigger the network is, and therefore can only be carried out for example for miners or other entity as big as several of them), would grant those 51% the control of the network. It would be irrelevant if they also invest or not, because they could write the transaction records as they wished and therefore, seize whatever they would want. Fortunatelly, there are ways to not have such incentive

Someone who commits a 51% attack is able to double spend their coins and manipulate the blockchain. This would result in chaos, most likely them making tons of money if they are successful, leaving everyone else with basically worthless coins as everyone will rush for the exit.
