Eli5: Why and how isn’t there any bicycle tire that is 100% rubber? Like, no air on the inside so no puncture risk isn’t it? Is really technology that far behind yet?

It has absolutely nothing to do with technology and I have no idea why you think that. You really think we don’t know how to make solid rubber tires?

Tires are not solid rubber because they would be heavier, more expensive, and uncomfortable to use because of how much they would vibrate and shake the rider. In other words, worse.
