It has to do with legal restrictions and software compatibility. Microsoft licenses game titles from different companies to work on the Xbox. They are legally not allowed to by played on a pc or any other device for that matter. The other issue is that the Xbox has very specific software that recognizes the discs as compatible and plays them through specific software commands. If someone were to make a program that reads Xbox discs on a computer they could be subject to criminal punishment.
Because Xbox games are programmed to run only on Xbox. If you want to play those games on your pc, you need an emulator and a good pc with high end graphics that can handle those games perfectly.
Well, actually. They're not the same. A Computer has so much more to it than a console - in fact, a console is rather basic compared to a PC - and most PC games have or can include addons that only they can use. But the "Best comment" from Benjamin explains why also.

They are a different kind of format and they use different processors etc.
Unless you can find an emulator for Xbox 360/one you can't.
