Because the only people who use Q without an U afterwards are Arabian terrorists, that's how the NSA gets them.

@Fast-Nop WHY IS THERE ADDITIONAL "UE" AFTER "UE" IN THE WORD "QUEUE" IF THE WORD "QUEUE" CAN BE WRITTEN AS "QUE" OR EVEN JUST "Q"
-
@electrineer That depends. In 'Nike' you don't say just the first 3 letters; you say them all, 'ke' is pronounced as 'key'. Same with Mike although most Mike's are pronounced like you said but in fact there are Mikes that get pronounced like 'My-key'.

@CodeMasterAlex yeah, because inconsistency is always better
@Codex404 random quote from the internet:
Nike chairman Phillip Knight has confirmed that it's "Nikey" not "Nike" -
I had professor who wouldn't stop talking about the word "queue" and how we only pronounce the first letter ("q").
WHY IS THERE "UE" AFTER "Q" IN THE WORD "UNIQUE" IF THE LETTER "Q" IS ALREADY PRONOUNCED AS "QUE" ??
