Why does Cura not support a Creality K1 Max 3D Printer?

· Why does Cura not support a Creality K1 Max 3D Printer?
While I can't speak for this instance in particular, profiles for printers not manufactured by UltiMaker are contributed to the Cura code repository by either their manufacturers or (more often) community members.
Cura does not come with a profile for the K1 Max, which could explain why it will not connect (connecting over a network is not something I'm too familiar with since I've never had a printer which does it).
It's possible someone has posted a working profile or instructions for how to get it working somewhere else online, I suggest searching to see if anyone has.

Direct Network printing in UltiMaker is generally only supported on UltiMaker 3d printers.
Connection to 3rd party printers usually comes from a 3rd party plugin from the marketplace.
Again, for the same reasons as noted by @Slashee_the_Cow
TLDR;
Support for K1 Max is missing, because no one bothered to contribute the support.
Try asking Creality why, its not UltiMaker's responsibility.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
