it is bcoz
light waves are transverse waves and only transverse waves can be polarised and on the other hand sound waves are longitudinal waves and longitudinal waves cannot be polarised.
As in transverse, vibrations is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave.
In longitudinal, vibrations is parallel to the direction of travel of the wave.
