Because it is, or can be when over-used, trite. Don't people tend to be more interesting the more unbalanced they are? Also, if there is too much symmetry, the eye (or ear, or mind) is not drawn anyplace in particular; everywhere you turn, you are at a place that you could think of as an artistic 'center of gravity'. I think the sense of balance and composition in any art should draw you in, and not just let you slip freely.

It depends on which artist you are referring to. There are many artists from many different cultural backgrounds who use symmetry. There can be many reasons, but if you are looking for a general answer symmetry can be used to depict balance and harmony. It can be used to represent perfection.

Short answer; It's a composition used to depict harmony, balance and perfection.

What are non symmetrical shapes?

I dont really know. That is what I am trying to figure out !! I think non-symmetrical shapes are shapes where all sides are different lengths/sizes. For example, a square or rectangle would not be non-symmetrical. It would be symmetrial because not all of the sides are different lengths. Hope that kinda helps. If not, I'm sorry!!
