I know it's tradition but why is it not by the people?

Why would it be?

It is a non-hereditary (of course) monarchy - think Holy Roman Empire or Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth - where the aristocracy (Cardinals, in this case) are the electors.

By the people? You have your democracy by the people, I hope you enjoy it.
