The reason women are not obligated to fulfill the mitzvot of tallit, tefillin, or tzitzit, and do not require a minyan to daven, is because Jewish philosophy teaches that we are closer to Gd. that is why we don’t require the intermediary of a group to daven, and are obligated to do fewer mitzvot and religious obligations.
