Because the transfer is still analog until it's encoded by the device. Analog transfers involve quality loss.
This doesn't just apply to VHS, but to betamax, umatic, beta SP, VHS-C, SVHS, hi-8, and other analog recording formats.
Newer digital tape (minidv, DV-Cam, DVCpro, Beta SX) does not have this problem.
It's not the tape itself that's the problem, but the information loss that isn't noticeable on digital.
