Why don’t we constantly see new stars in the sky as an increase of light travels to us?

with how light works and the constant expansion of what we term the “observable universe” why don’t we constantly see new stars appearing in the night sky as the observable part expands and stars/galaxies light reaches us for the first time?

The night sky has stayed relatively the same (accounting for changing postions over time, stella phenom, supernovas etc.) for all of humans written history.

I want to add one thing. With telescopes, we can actually identify new stars that are being born. It’s just not happening often and close enough to see it with the naked eye.
