Here's why:

* White dwarfs are the end stage of a star's life, not its beginning. They are the remnants of stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and shed their outer layers.

* Stars begin as clouds of gas and dust. These clouds collapse under their own gravity, eventually igniting nuclear fusion in their cores and becoming stars.

* The fate of a star depends on its mass. Stars with masses similar to our Sun (or smaller) eventually become white dwarfs after going through a red giant phase.

* Massive stars have different fates. They explode as supernovae, leaving behind either a neutron star or a black hole.

Therefore, only stars with masses similar to our Sun (or smaller) will eventually end up as white dwarfs. The majority of stars start as massive clouds of gas and dust, not as white dwarfs.
