Because only a fraction of the light is getting to your eyes at that point. Sure it’s bright af but your eyes evolved under the sun and if they couldn’t take an indirect hit once and a while they wouldn’t be of much use. Think of it like the Death Star. You got shoot into a tiny little hole to blow it up. That being said, don’t play games with the sun. It will mess you up
