Eg: IPhone SE is said to be water resistant only upto 30 minutes and 1m depth. When something is water resistant, shouldn’t it be resistant irrespective of how long its soaked? What happens post the time limit or depth?

In that amount of time, the sealants may dissolve. At greater depths, the pressure would overcome the resistance of said seals, and water would push in to anywhere it would fit.
