I know it’s caused by giving more than what we have mentally and overworking our minds, but why is that a thing? What is finite about empathy and other things in the brain? Why can we handle XYZ for a period of time until we just cant?

To my understanding your body releases chemicals during stressful situations that keep it at its peak performance. This is the stuff that can push your body to great feats of strength or endurance to save your life when it is in danger. Normally this is only supposed to last a short time and then your body falls back to normal where it spends some time recovering from the event. Burnout just happens when it spends too much time above normal and never gets a chance to recover.
