Borrowing English words into a language that uses Latin alphabet literally corrupts pronunciation rules for that language, as people want to have the same spelling and the same pronunciation as in English, not caring about their own pronunciation rules. If enough words are borrowed this way, you would eventually have tons of exceptions from pronunciation rules, making the language inconsistent. With katakana there is no way to make the spelling the same, so they come up with a new one that resembles English pronunciation while following Jap pronunciation rules.
