Why are 80% of the elements metallic? I get that they ARE, but WHY?

Well, again, I don't agree that you can. I wouldn't call that an answer to "why". That's okay, we can disagree. That doesn't make my original answer wrong - just a different perspective.
You can answer why there are so many metals though. You're conflating a different question
It's like saying we can't answer why something is flammable. Yes we can, you need a FAIR few more why's to get to the philosophy part
