ELI5: Why do black holes lurk at the center of galaxies?

From what I have been reading up on black holes, most of the galaxies appear to have a super massive black hole at their center. But there are huge stars lurking all over the place in galaxies, when these huge stars collapse on themselves, wouldn't we see(not literally) black holes scattered all over the place in galaxies?

Your question is backwards.

It would be like asking why there is a star at the center of the solar system? The solar system is a product of that star, without it there would be nothing to hold the system together. 

Galaxies are the same way. The super massive black whole is what is taking this assortment of stars and systems and holding them in a coherent pattern that we know as a galaxy.
