Because algae is an ecological nightmare. OP doesn't know what they're suggesting.
For it to grow you need an excess of something like nitrogen in your water supply
It's nearly impossible to cull
It is commonly toxic
If the bloom is big enough it will block all sunlight from entering the water. Killing off everything else that makes oxygen in the water. Algea releases oxygen into the air so everything in the water will use the remaining oxygen and suffocate.
If a bloom dies, the microbes that decompose it use more oxygen than the algae gives off in the first place. Again suffocating fish and anything else in that water.
