Simply put. Because they aren't Blizzard maps. If there is one thing that community map makers are terribad at, it is to mind their limits. All Blizzard maps are designed to run smoothly even on the lowest end machines (at appropriate graphic options of course), where as a lot of community map makers tend to focus a little too much on making stuff pretty.
Metropolis in WOL was the extreme example of this phenomenon with a flipping million or so moving doodads. That map tanked even the highest end of machines and was a complete disaster when it got to ladder.
But as long as people keep screaming for community map makers to get more influence on ladder, we will keep seeing this happen. Especially because community maps are often matched up against each other in competitions and shiny stuff sells.
In my opinion, the community maps are a lot better than the maps that Blizzard produces. I think if Blizzard uses these maps then they have a responsibility to check for these kind of things and to fix them.

Sorry but this is just wrong. You are sugesting that maps have low fps because of "doodads" and shiny stuff but on that argument we would see that old pc´s have more problems then new one. But its the opposite there is no consistancy in the framerate drop on some maps, i personally never had problems on metropolis with a dual core and 8800, now i have an i7 and a 770 but have ~40 frames on some new maps.
I think there are just some effects that are badly made. Blizzards map guy know these effects and just doesn´t use them.
Yeah count me in on the daedalus is ridiculous camp. As if the ramp wasn't bad enough, the distance between your outer gas geysers on just 2 bases is freaking ENORMOUS. Muta and drop play are just incredible for maps like this, any less mobile comps are basically fucked.
Its like they created a map that were protoss would be as weak as possible to counteract all the protoss OP talk, but every protoss players will veto this map anyway.
Habitation Station is hell for PvZ if zerg goes swarmhost. So many ledges to abduct stuff from. I have no idea how you want to engage a swarmhost turtle there.

Tempest early gives a frgee gold / strong position vs Main while Z cannot take a gold tho...

BLOWS MY MIND THAT PEOPLE CAN BUILD A MAP LIKE DEADALUS AND THINK "GEE THIS MAP WILL WORK GREAT"
it's like those idiots at blizzard don't play their own fuking game, look at the size of that ramp it's absolutely absurd everything about the whole thing
it's like dustin took his 3 year old and said hey let's troll the people that play the game, build a map for them gogo

I'm a mapmaker and i have done maps with more exposed naturals that Daedalus please explain why open naturals are bad.
The thing that blows my mind is not so the mere existence of Daedalus Point on ladder (which is already quite mesmerizing) but the fact that the poll in the OP seems to indicate that people were eager to play on that astonishingly stupid map.
Come on, couldn't they make it so that it's at least wallable with Nexus ? PvZ is just unplayable on that map if you don't go 3 gate expand à la WoL, and then you just die to mutas which didn't have regen back then. Instant veto.
Edit : Open naturals are bad because you can't expand out of 1 gate or 1 forge on them, and then are just eaten alive by any serious muta play.

Also Daedalus is not a Blizzard map.
It's nice for PvZ to be a playable match-up.

Free Hatch first for everybody! 3 Hatch before Pool is also good! And early Pools because of the open nat and short rush distance!

explain?
Why do you think people started 3 gate sentry expanding in wings of liberty vs z for? Can you tell me the answer to that before I go any further?
