I'm not sure why net capital gains factor into your qualified business income (QBI) deduction , but that is a component of the calculation, as you can see on Form 8995:
It may be because capital gain income is already tax-favored because of the potential for lower tax rates than ordinary income, so to allow a QBI deduction in addition to a lower tax rate would be doubling up on tax benefits associated with capital gain income.
