Why is it masculine?

Dios is masculine because it derives from Latin "deus," which was grammatically masculine in the Indo-European language family, a gender distinction that Spanish inherited and maintained through its Romance language evolution. Like many Spanish nouns ending in "-os," it follows the pattern of masculine noun endings that descended directly from Latin masculine nominative forms.
