[Star Wars] Why do astromechs communicate the way they do?

Why do they speak in beeps and boops as opposed to whatever the common tongue in the Galaxy is? Surely it would be easier than deciphering whatever form of communication they currently use.

Astromechs are not made to communicate with humans, so they don't need to speak Basic. Being able to communicate with each other is enough for them. Starfighters incorporate speech to text translators because the astromech may need to communicate with the pilot more often.
