They don’t, but high school grades and the ASVAB are really the only two solid metrics military recruiters have of gauging a potential recruit’s intelligence. It’s like saying plenty of intelligent kids do poorly on the SATs; true, but that’s still what many colleges look at.

The other issue is that a lot of kids don't take the ASVAB seriously, and just flub it. Which is why any decent recruiter will have a potential candidate re-take it once they show up. When I took it in hs, I qualified for Deck Seaman. Second time around, I qualified for Machinist's Mate Nuke.
