Simple reason - It violates the cubic symmetry.
To see it from another perspective - Base centered cubic lattice is equivalent to a simple tetragonal lattice. Draw two unit cells adjacent to each other. Then connect the base center points to the corener points which are shared by these two unit cells. Then connect the two base centered point in each unit cell. Now you have a simple tetragonal lattice. Simple tetragonal lattice has one lattice point per unit cell compared to two lattice point per unit cell of base centered lattice. Always the lower lattice point lattice is considered for a given symmetry. Because of symmetry breaking, the symmetry of base centered cubic lattice is same as tetragonal lattice.
A metallic lattice consists of positive ions in a 'sea' of outershell negative electrons which are delocalised and mobile through the metal structure. The lattice is held together by strong forces of attraction between the mobile electrons and the positive ions.
In a face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice, each atom is in contact with 12 nearest neighbors. This means that the coordination number of a fcc lattice is 12.
The body-centered cubic system has a lattice point at each of the eight corner points of the unit cell plus one lattice point in the centre. Thus it has a net total of 2 lattice points per unit cell ( 1⁄8 × 8 + 1).The face-centered cubic system has lattice points on the faces of the cube, that each gives exactly one half contribution, in addition to the corner lattice points, giving a total of 4 lattice points per unit cell ( 1⁄8 × 8 from the corners plus  1⁄2 × 6 from the faces).
Most metals and alloys crystallize in one of three very common structures: body-centered cubic (bcc), Li is an example of bcc , hexagonal close packed (hcp) Au is an example of hcp, or cubic close packed (ccp, also called face centered cubic, fcc) Ag is an example of fcg. The yield strength of a "perfect" single crystal of pure Al is ca. 10^6 psi.
When carbon is added to iron, the lattice structure transforms from pure iron's body-centered cubic to a face-centered cubic structure. This transformation results in the formation of steel, which has improved strength and hardness compared to pure iron.

What is a Hexagonal close packed lattice and what is sign it?"
There are three main types of lattice structures: primitive cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic. These structures differ in the arrangement of atoms or ions within the lattice. In a primitive cubic lattice, atoms are only located at the corners of the unit cell. In a body-centered cubic lattice, there is an additional atom at the center of the unit cell. In a face-centered cubic lattice, there are atoms at the corners and in the center of each face of the unit cell. These differences in arrangement affect the properties and behavior of materials with these lattice structures.

A simple hexagonal lattice is a type of crystal lattice where atoms are arranged in a repeating hexagonal pattern. It has threefold rotational symmetry and two lattice parameters that are equal. This lattice structure differs from other structures, such as cubic or tetragonal lattices, in its unique arrangement of atoms and symmetry properties.
