Why is it when someone opens the door to a 500c (932f) degree oven, the rush of hot air doesn’t burn them?

Air takes a long time to burn anything. It also doesn’t rush out very readily, if anything cold air is more likely to rush in due to the pressure difference.

Now if you had some sort of fan blasting the hot air towards you, then yeah you’d get burned pretty quickly, that’s basically how a convection oven or air fryer cooks food so quickly
