Why do we say “open” and “closed”? Why is one in present tense and the other in past tense?

Edit: to clarify, I mean when shops have a sign that says “open” versus “closed”. Why is it not “opened/closed” or “open/close”?

Cause if it is open it is still open in the present but if it is closed it has been closed at some point in the past
