Writer's Note
It is a contraction of "would not", which makes it sound more natural in conversation. While the literal translation to "Why would not want you to" is grammatically correct, it sounds awkward and is rarely used in modern English. The contraction "wouldn't" helps the sentence flow better and makes it sound more conversational.
