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

Because it’s dry air, probably also diluted by ambient air.

On the other hand, if you’ve got something in your oven at 250°C that’s a little moist, so that the air is laden with water vapor, it’s like being punched by a lava fist if you get that in your face.
