Why do mtb bikes have such steep frame compared to road ones?

This and not hitting your nuts on the top bar if you accidentally dismount. Shorter seat tube probably also helps with torsional stiffness in the frame. Also suspension forks are longer, plus you gain nothing from a low handlebar so it doesn't matter how far up your head tube is.

Your 10 inch suspension needs space.

In addition to what other anons said, it's also supposedly easier to control the back of the bike, hence a sloped top tube in grabels and CX as well.

Are you saying Camelback is behind the trends in mountain bike design after the 90s? Because I'm willing to believe it.

Slack head angle on an mtb means that more of your weight will be over the rear wheel which is the "driven" wheel of a bicycle and closer to the center of mass when accelerating. This generally makes the bicycle more stable at speed and means you can brake harder without being tipped over the bars. It also makes it easier to fit a long travel fork while also keeping the bottom bracket height low.
