Why is it, I don't know. But Americans has many ways to make things simple in their everyday conversation.

Here are the list of the ways to pronounce the "t" sound:

• The easiest and most obvious T is at the beginning of a word: Twice, ten, tintinnabulation. ok, that's one is hard to pronounce!It's a clear, sharp popping almost enough to put out a match or at least make it flicker.
  
• The middle T turns into a D, so that's nice and easy: water, better and meeting sounds like wader, bedder and meeding. The only tricky part is that you have to use this with word connections, as well: Let her and letter both sounds like ledder. You'll hear it a lot with that, what and but followed by pronouns or articles- actually anything that starts with a vowel: that i (the dye); what he (whadddee); but he (buddee), get a (gedda) etc. This is why lot of sounds like lotta (llaadda)
  
• There is a truly silent T in listen, wrestle, Christmas, and usually silent one in twenty or internet. It looks illiterate to spell it as twenny, but listen carefully- 95% of time, that's how it's pronounced.
  
• The held T is actually every easy. It shows up in words ending in - tain, -tant, such as gotten, written, certain or important. The easiest way to make this sound is to say the first part . got ( don't pop the aier out) and then just um the N sound: gotnnnnnn.
• The final T must be handled carefully. Normally, it's not popped at all ... unless you are angry, impatient or making a point that you listener isn't very smart. Ouch. if you say, Clint is not a secret agent, with held Ts it's fine. However , if you say, Clint is nottt a secrett agenttt !! with popped Ts . your listener is going to infer a great deal of attitude on your part.You can almost feel your teeth clenching to say it this way. this shows up a lot in the question,. what . which ca be a reasonable query - a request for further information or explanation. or an indication that you hadn't quiet heard and would like to hear again. Or it can be a popped T explosion of surprise, anger , disgust or any of the many negative emotions that evoke surprise " What?! You are myu Twinkie?!
• T is usually formed when the tip of the tongue touches the bumps on the top of the mouth. However, the glottal T is produced in the throat It occurs before W,R,K,G and Y. Very slowly say what was, not right, dot com, get go, that year and notice that the tip of the tongue doesn't move. Instead, the back of the tongue blocks the air and forms the T in the throat. This is actually kinda Britannic.
