You could've also asked "Why did Allah not reveal the Qur'an all in one go, instead of spreading it out over a period of 23 years?"

Allah says:
And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly (Quran 25:32)

And [it is] a Qur'an which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively (Quran 17:106)

Different verses of the Qur'an were revealed as a response to the different events in the Prophets (pbuh) life.

For example, when the Quraysh asked the Prophet (pbuh) the three questions, Allah revealed Surah al-Kahf answering all three.
And when the Prophet(pbuh) turned away from the blind man (ibn Makhtum), the first few verses of Surah 'Abasa were revealed.
And during the seige of Bani Nadir, when Allah revealed verse 59:5 which gave the Prophet (pbuh) permission to cut down the palm trees.
