Because, it feeds flames. When we inhale Oxygen, we exhale Carbon Dioxide. Certain processes take place in the body during that period. If the oxygen's concentration would be higher, we'd ignite from the inside!
Of course, if its concentration is also lower, we might suffocate.
This is one of those "you can't live without it, but can't continue living with it" cases.
What? That doesn't mean oxygen is flammable. Fire needs oxygen but oxygen doesn't spontaneously combust at any temperature (no matter the concentration). What's your source?
