Helicopters are very limited on weight and range. They cost thousands (maybe tens of thousands if they’re military) per hour to operate. A carrier has thousands of sailors on it.
You just couldn’t carry enough stuff to them in a reasonable amount of time.
Hello mate it’s an aircraft carrier, they could use planes.
The place is also surrounded by ships, that’s kinda the whole point.
I suspect the reason is due to logistical regulations and internal control. You can’t just order things, it has to percolate through a massive bureaucracy.

How many beans do you think they could fit in one of those bad boys?
