Because he's played better than them this year would be the conventional answer. The only reason they should pick those two over Hayward is team record or lifetime achievement considerations. I don't think Duncan deserved to be an AS this year, but his lifetime greatness prevailed etc.
Since when has all-star picks been just about individual play with no regard to team record?
Hell, even without putting team record into the equation, going by stats alone it'd be hard to make a case for Hayward. And if it wasn't for the last 10 games, it would be even more difficult.
Hayward will be an all-star, but he should earn it first by either:
A) playing consistently well (like how he has in the past 10 games) for the whole season
B) have a better team record
Until then, saying Hayward should be an all-star is just homerism
