I can think of two reasons off the top of my head. Fatiuge and complacency. How many time have you heard of those two being killers.....

Not always the pilot's fault of course.
Better airport signage and markings have followed on from past incidents. (And improved CRM has helped also).
Some decades ago me as a backseat observer on a B707, with a department check pilot as well, and a very experienced Captain, FO and EO operating on a visual approach to a brand new airport. Captain turned on to finals (No ILS or LLZ) and lined up with the parallel takyway for some 30sec before a call from the back(me). Taxiway was bright new concrete and runway was dark new asphalt.
Simple "sidestep to the left" above 800 feet.
Resulted in Notice to Crew, Notam, and eventually lead-in lights.Twenty-five years later they put in an ILS.
