Why don’t you say something/Why won’t you say something is the most natural choice. Why not asks for a reason, why won’t implies you want them to speak and is more conversational

The question is from this clip and script in Friends.
https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/7fd440ce-11c7-416d...
Joey: (Laughing) Mother-Kisser... (Sees Ross's look) I'll shut up.
Ross: Chandler, can I just say something? And I know you're still mad at me. I just wanna say that there were two people there that night. Okay? There were two sets of lips.
Chandler: Yes, well, I expect this from her. Okay? She's always been a Freudian nightmare.
Ross: Okay, well, if she always behaves like this, why don't you say something?
I think Ross is saying "why not you say something?".

No "Why not you say something?" is unatural.
