Its for the same reason that Mary is covered in every depiction of her in every church. And the same reason why nuns cover, the Amish, and religious Jews. Its simply called modesty. Think about colonial Americans. They were modest too with their long dresses and bonnets. It wasnt until recent times that it became normal for people to dress less conservatively. Muslims are not unique. They are simply modest. Underneath that head covering they are just like everyone else.
