ELI5: Why doesn't the IOC just buy an island somewhere and hold the Olympics there every time.

It seems to me that the countries that participate in the Olympics should just get together and buy an island somewhere, build the necessary structures and hold the Olympics there every four years. It would save a lot of money, the buildings wouldn't just be used once and abandoned. Countries could still bid to "host" the Olympics, they would just be in charge of the theme and opening and closing ceremonies, and whatever else is involved beyond building the actual structures required. Why is this not a viable option?

For one, the Olympics are about international community, and isolating the games goes against that. The Olympics are also a huge draw for tourists. Cities that host the games are counting on the idea that the tourist revenue they make will offset the cost of building. Also, anyone traveling to see the Olympics would want to have restaurants, night clubs, etc. to go to while they're there. A secluded island wouldn't have that.
