It is probably because the words are close in spelling and pronunciation. In speaking, both words use the vowel sound /u/. But “lose” ends in the /z/ sound, while “loose” ends in the /s/ sound. In writing, “loose” has only one more -o than “lose.”

So, the “g” is not actually pronounced as a “g,” but it is not a “silent” letter either. It is actually pronounced in words such as “anger” and “linger”—but the same sort of thing does not happen in “strength” and “length” because of the “th” sound that follows immediately after.
