I feel like the simple answer is:

“Because they have a thermoswitch that shuts them off when their temperature exceeds roughly 100C, which can only happen when all of the water has boiled away.”

My rice cooker isn’t a very good one so it shuts off at some temperature long past 100C, leaving me with crispy/dried out rice at the bottom.
