Because PA is close.
California is never close. They call California early because of historical trends, modern expectations, and math.
They probably *should* be calling PA because of trends, expectations and math but they aren't because it's so close. There's also not enough info regarding the split of provisional ballots.
They aren't calling GA because it's also very close and in auto recount territory.
They aren't calling AZ because there are a lot of ballots to be counted and there's no reliable trend to use to calculate the split of ballots. This uncertainty is because AZ mails ballots to everyone, so there isn't the same D vs R split in the mail in returns as other states.
NV could probably be called, but there are a lot of outstanding mail in ballots and they are really slow. Plus if Fox calls NV they look stupid because they called AZ early.
