Because they play at a standard way above that of the Welsh League, and it would be financially disastrous for them. You forgot Wrexham FC.

Tradition. The general rule is that teams are only allowed to compete in their national leagues.There are a few other teams across Europe that have been made exceptions, but not many. The perennial Liechtenstein Champions are allowed to play in the Swiss league. Also, Berwick Rangers (from Berwick-on-Tweed) are English but play in the Scottish League.
A strange situation has arisen for Chester - their new ground is built partly in Wales.... not something the English fans are proud of.

For the same reason that Glamorgan plays as part of the English cricket league and their players qualify to play for England. There are not enough other prestigious teams in existence to warrant an separate league for Wales.

There aren't enough Welsh teams to make up a league.
