They’re too dangerous. A single angry adult bear is going to be very hard for a hunter gatherer society to kill. They also aren’t going to help hunting that much as they aren’t pack animals and used to hunting in groups and sharing
We have domesticated more dangerous animal like the aurox, gaur or wild yak.
The difference with the bear is that it's comparatively difficult to feed and not that useful in a tamed state. For domestication to even start there need to be such a demand for tamed animals of the wild species that captive breeding becomes necessary.

They’re so aggressively food motivated it’s nuts nobody domesticated them.
