Because the Democratic Party establishment shoved Mondale down the throat of the Democratic Party voters.  Not entirely dissimilar from 2016.  Same ultimate result.  It didn't matter in 1984; no Democrat would have stood a chance.  But the Democratic Party establishment forgot history, so they were condemned to repeat it in 2016.

I voted for Gary Hart in the primary.  So did my older brother.  This was even after our labor-union father handed both of us a written list of the Mondale delegates to vote for.
