When switching from one WiFi to another, how come it shuts off the internet while switching, and can’t pass it over without an interruption?

It can, but your WiFi network has to support ‘roaming’.
Think of a small WiFi network with a single access point as a delivery person who delivers lots of small packages for you. Before they will deliver however, they insist you fill out and sign a form to make sure you are who you say you are and agree to some things such as how fast you are going to be sending packages and how you are going to wrap them. They insist that you go through this process every time you start talking to them and deliveries won’t start until they are happy.
You add another delivery person to extend the range of the deliveries, but they insist on going through their own form every time you talk to them. They might have extra questions if they work for a different company. If you constantly switch between delivery people there can be a lot of paperwork involved.
Corporate WiFi if correctly set up for ‘roaming’ will hire lots of delivery people from the same company who are prepared for you to keep switching and will only make you fill out one form at the start which they share with each other without bothering you.
