Answer:

because it has a different meaning

Step-by-step explanation:

A curator is a person who manages, administers or organizes a collection, either independently or employed by a museum, library, archive or zoo while caretaker is someone who takes care of a place or thing; someone looking after somewhere, or with responsibility for keeping a place in good repair.
