Do you mean why don’t they get a bunch of mortgages and create a pool for investors.
Someone or some entity would have to issue the bonds. If you think individual people can float a bond offering and sell it, you are mistaken. Would you buy a bond from some random person in Ypsilanti, Michigan that wanted to buy a 2500 sq ft home? You don’t know this person and neither do the vast majority of other people. His/her credit history could be crap, the bonds are defaulted, and bond holders are left with nothing or pennies on the dollar.
