The answer, of course, ....
The rings lie inside Saturn's Roche Limit, where tidal forces are too strong to allow any large, and the rings of Saturn will not last forever, maybe they will be forcibly removed, or even be forced.

Sometimes I wonder if Saturn is a great big space station that is also a super giant Tesla coil, the outer rings being the primary coil, the planet itself a spherical/spiral secondary coil.

Why does Saturn have rings rather than, say, an orbitting sphere of
asteroids and rubble?
Maybe the gravity of Saturn is more intense at its equator.

Saturn rings must have come from a comet that came apart when captured
by Saturn gravity those moons is why the rings look that
way, Mark!

Sure, for a while.
They are stable there, since Saturn is the most massive, close object
that the rings have to deal with.
