Because "inspired" does not mean "dictated," and "God-breathed is only a literal translation of the Greek term that was understood to mean the same thing as inspiring music or poetry.
The recent emphasis on the literal translation is a transparent attempt to lend authority to something that was never meant for it.

There is a world of difference between emphasizing one part and contradicting each other.
