Because there is no need to pluralize the word. Math is short for “mathematics” so writing “maths” just makes you look stupid.

Ultimately it’s the same reason why you don’t say “admins” for administrator or detoxs for detoxification.

Do you say flus? No you say flu because it’s the shortened version of influenza.

Maths is short for mathematics, and neither is plural. Math, maths, and mathematics are all equally correct. I love when Americans tell people they look stupid because they don’t do something the way Americans do it.
