Why does this happenare hydrogen ions always associated with another molecule?

I was reading N.C.E.R.T. class XI part 2 book and chapter Hydrogen,where iwhen I came across this Statement.statement:

Loss of the electron from hydrogen atom results in nucleus (H+$\ce{H+}$) of ~1.510–3 pm size. This is extremely small as compared to normal atomic and ionic sizes of 50 to 200pm. As a consequence, H+ does not exist freely and is always associated with other atoms or molecules.

So a question arose in my mind that why it is a consequence of small size of hydrogen nucleus that H+$\ce{H+}$ does not exist freely and is always associated with other atoms and molecules.?
