Why is it said that no man can come to Christ without the Father's drawing?

Answered in 1 source

It emphasizes God's sovereign role in the salvation process (John 6:44).

Jesus's declaration in John 6:44, 'No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me draw him,' highlights the necessity of divine initiation in the conversion process. This teaching clarifies that humanity is unable to approach God on their own due to their sinful nature, which is inherently hostile to God (Romans 8:7). Only through the Father's action, drawing them, can individuals move from a state of rebellion to one of belief in Christ. This truth serves to exalt God's sovereignty and grace, as He graciously intervenes in the lives of the elect to bring them to salvation.
