That's the question, isn't it?

I suppose the obvious answer would be because the average human -- and society itself -- doesn't consider Ghouls people. They are, from a legal standpoint, lower than animals which at least have some legal protections. Ghouls have none.

From Kaneki, we see that ordinary folks don't even know anything other than "Ghouls are scary and eat people". It makes sense, since humans do have a proven tendency to simply want to kill anything they consider different or a threat.

On the less simple route, I'm sure there's some darker reason for there being zero efforts to resolve the conflict without genocide.
