たい is used for something you want to do. くれる is someone else doing something to/doing something for you... As you can not be the one wanting to do what another person could do, it`s impossible. It is something outside of your control - たい is something within it.
Along the same lines comes weather. You can say 雨降ってほしい - but not ふりたい as you are not the one who would be falling.
