There were probably a number of reasons, depending upon the circumstances of the individual, but the main reasons were that the individual was not unhappy with the circumstances of his life and, as a British subject, felt a strong sense of loyalty to Britain and the king.

Loyalists opposed independence from Great Britain because they believed in the legal status of colony to Crown, that the Sovereign of Great Britain, the King, retained his rightful status as King despite the protests of some colonials concerning mismanagement of the colonies.
