How is it that every dairy product goes bad outside fridge but butter is meant to be stored in butter dish outside fridge?

Better was created and became widespread specifically because making butter is a way to preserve a dairy product.
Am I too Australian too understand keeping things outside of a fridge?
It’s mostly fat but the salt keeps it from moulding. Leave it out long enough though and it’ll start smelling like blue cheese. Unsalted butter will mould in the fridge. Source: experience

Butter WILL go sideways if left out long enough. Call it what you want, but you wouldn’t want to eat it. A quarter stick of butter lasts….. MAYBE a week at our house. We put it on all manner of toast. I cook with it. (Restaurant’s secret ingredient? Butter. But just a pat of butter at the end of whatever you’re cooking will make a HUGE taste difference. Fat…transports flavor) It isn’t that it doesn’t go bad so much as it doesn’t have enough TIME to go bad. Milk can be left out of the fridge if you drink it fast enough. It might be warm…. which might make it feel WRONG, but it isn’t necessarily BAD.

Can I hijack this for a related question? Cheese has almost no sugar content (lactose), but people who are lactose intolerant can’t eat it. Why is that?
