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.

The only stars we can see are pretty much in the Milky Way. Any further and they are too small to be seen.

The Milky Way creates around seven stars a year, but bear in mind that 90% of all stars are red dwarves, again too small to be seen with the human eye.
