Because the Late Roman Empire had several economic, demographics and military problems. Plus the land of Germania was a wild and "poor" land for Roman standards, there wasn't anything to gain from conquering warmongering tribes on the other side of the Limes. Also the Romans thought of Germania as part of the empire actually, just unruled. At least de jure they considered the province of Germania their territory anyways

Exactly this ⬆️ and also the fact that if you do, the tribes would confederate and just roll through your territory making the whole campaign meaningless in the first place 😂

They already de facto control them through trade anyways. Any ruler would have to be on good terms with the Romans to consolidate their power.
