"Phonics" isn't spelled like it sounds due to its Greek origins. The term derives from the Greek word "phōnē," meaning "voice" or "sound," and follows Greek-to-Latin spelling conventions rather than phonetic English spelling.

Basically: because words are labels for concepts and are mostly arbitrary, with the exception of some onomatopoeia. It's usually pointless to infer anything about the quality of a thing from the quality of the name for it.
