Why doesn't the body produce more creatine?

I'm somewhat new to nootropics and I know quite little about human bio in general, but just from common sense this question concerns me.
Why wouldn't the body just synthesize more creatine if it has only positive effects? Is it likely that higher levels of creatine cause unknown long term downsides? As I understand it all other dietary supplements, nootropics etc which people take daily/regularly cannot be synthesized by the body.
Sorry if I'm missing some basic point, or if some article has explained this. I did a search of this sub and looked over the FAQ but I didn't see an answer to this question.

Fuck creatine, I want my body to produce more endorphins.

Take D-phenylalanine. It inhibits the enzyme that breaks down your body's natural endorphins. You might as well take DLPA at that point, and give your body some precursors to DA and NE.
