... because that's how American TV broadcasting works ...

Most shows have weeks off. A different show I'm watching, which is running an 18-episode season, has a total of 19 weeks off between the season premiere and finale (one random week off, 6 week off hiatus, and currently in a 12 weeks off hiatus) – so that's more weeks off than it airs and that's not counting the hiatus between seasons. So, The 100 only having a total of 4 weeks off (one random week + current 3 weeks off) within a season is quite minor.
