Because, while he can counter and overpower Gates of Babylon and Enkidu would do next to nothing against him, he has nothing strong enough to stop Ea. Rho Aias
might (but I heavily doubt it) be able to deflect it since in HF the four-petal deflected Excalibur (but thats an attack on a completely different level from Enuma Elish), but otherwise he has nothing to use to survive a blast from Ea if serious!Gil uses it off the bat.
If Gil doesn't use it off the bat and allows Archer to overpower him with UBW or to cast UBW in its full, then he'd probably lose much the same was that he lost to Shirou. But that's not serious!Gil. The Fifth Grail was is really mucked up though and the routes have varying power levels to your servants because of all the servant/master switcharoos going on. Rider is pathetic in Fate/UBW, Lancer is handicapped through every single route, Archer doesn't use UBW for some baffling reason in Fate route or just gives up on his goals in HF, Shirou keeps Saber from being good in half of the encounters, Assassin isn't even a real Servant, and on and on.
If you take the servants at their peaks, though, you'd have probably had a lot of strong contenders and a very interesting war.
