Same reason you don’t skin your feet when walking barefoot, but you will if you slide across concrete on those same bare feet.

When diriving, your wheels come in contact with the ground, then roll off the ground. The rubber don’t slide along the road surface. When drifiting, though, you’re tyres are scraping across the surface of the road instead of just rolling along the surface. And just like your feet, when you scrape something you leave part of the softer substance behind.
