for the same reason that, if you cap one end of a straw with your finger and dip the other end into a glass of water, there won’t be any water in the straw when you pull it out.

for water to go into your ear, the air inside needs a way to get out first. unless you’ve got a medical issue, that generally doesn’t happen
