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?

Well there are many brands of solid and airless tyres for bikes. ( Tannus for example) A quick google will find them in all sizes. The trouble is getting a consistency that offers the resistance and cushioning of pneumatic tyres. The general consensus at the moment is that are fine in a straight line, but very poor when turning which can make turning unpredictable.
But you can certainly buy them and try them for your bike.
