Because there are no exact formulas for roots, if the degree is
at least 5. You've been told that for a couple years now.
     None of your examples have proven that your method works, either;
when you provide specific examples, to claim that your method works,
at least make sure that the examples work ahead of time. If they don't,
then there's something wrong with your method.
