Because it is called due to tradition (in English) a ‘chloride’, thus giving the erroneous impression that it may contain chlorine ions, like, for example, calcium chloride, when it has none.
It should be called tetrachlorocarbon, or by its IUPAC name tetrachloromethane.
Having no ionic structure, actually no polar structure at all, it is not expected to conduct electricity, and in fact it doesn’t.
