I would've assumed because they're big, dangerous, unpredictable animals. Like killing wolves or something.

Depends on the type of dragon. Sure the ones in King Arthur were dumb beasts, but almost all other mythologies and fantasy systems have made dragons extremely intelligent, and wyverns are the dumb beasts.

Also see why Skyrim dragons are actually Wyverns

Sure, but does the king care about that?

Provably does. If his lands and peasants or those of his vassals are fucked up then it obviously causes problems. Who wants their lands burned, cattle eaten or serfs killed? Bad for business, innit
