Because is Checkmate in 16 moves and id you do 2. h4, you only lose.
Maybe you notice that black only legal moves are Qa1 and Qa2, if you gain one tempo at the beginning you never be at "tempo" after do it 2. h4
If the Black Queen is on Qa1 at the beginning then 2. h4 is valid Checkmate in 15
Suren posted a good video on Youtube. This is the exact puzzle - where Stockfish cannot find a solution, but houdini finds it in 5 seconds.

Exactly. I got it first try because I saw it yesterday.
I think you could win by promoting it to a Queen, and eventually mate on d2.
EDIT: Never mind, the kNight on b2 blocks that.
Isn't 12. Nxb3# a faster checkmate?
oh
