Why is it masculine?

Sistemas is masculine because it comes from Latin "systema," which derives from Greek "sýstema" (σύστημα), and Greek neuter nouns ending in -ma typically became masculine in Spanish rather than following the Latin neuter pattern. This is a regular sound change in Romance languages where Latin neuter nouns were largely absorbed into the masculine gender.
