It’s because footballers are evaluated based on touch, dribbling, goal scoring ability, passing ability, free kicks, speed, strength, etc. In that sense, keepers are not normal footballers. They only handle the ball a few times per match and - although they may be critical - they are not the sort of touches a field player makes.
When you play small sided games there usually isn’t even a goalie. And if there is no one really wants to play there.

Hockey players are also evaluated largely on statistics as opposed to optics.

There has also only been one goalie to win the Balon D’Or (Yashin) while several goalies (Hasek twice) have won MVP’s.
However, I think that reflects the perceived differences in importance of the positions in the respective sports as opposed to the relative greatness of the players.
