The Book of Enoch / Dead Sea Scrolls

The Books of Enoch were with the Dead Sea Scrolls upon their discovery, as well as others. But these books were omitted from what the church considered Canon. I wonder why.

The Book of Enoch tells of some events that would explain some things written in Scripture yet it was omitted, considered non Canon.

Now this book was supposed to be written 2 to 400 years before the birth of Christ. And they say that it was a 400-year time period when the prophets were quiet and the scribes were not writing. Yet The Book of Enoch was written and rejected.

I wonder how many Scrolls were lost and not rewritten from the three destructions of the cities of Israel?

There were many fragments with the more intact Dead Sea Scrolls, but both the Torah and Bible use only their own selections of the Ancient Hebrews' books, and in different orders.

Presumably the selections were to suit whoever was in theological and political power at the time; with their own reasons for using or rejecting each work.

There might have been others long since lost totally. Whoever are the "they" saying it, the lack of religious literature from that 4 centuries BCE may be by a combination of reasons. The scribes may have not needed to write new ones anyway as their beliefs had become entrenched. They may have written some now long-lost accidentally. It's even plausible some writings were rejected, perhaps even destroyed, for dogmatic reasons, with no record of this happening.
