Why is the universe limited in range of visibility if it is infinite?

Please correct me if I’m wrong in understanding big bang, I understood that there was nothing in the beginning and everything was formed all at once, hence the light from the farthest will take billions of years to reach us to see it’s present moment and so why is matter limited, honestly feels like a computer simulation since everything is limited in nature.

I’m not sure I understand your question. I’ll answer it and you can tell me whether I guessed correctly.

Our ability to see is limited by our telescopes or other devices for increasing our perceptions. It used to be just based on what we could see with our bare eyes. Telescopes keep improving, but even the new James Webb Space Telescope, which has greatly increased our ability to see distant stars, doesn’t allow us to see all of them.

Of course, even the stars we can see have been moving away from us even as their light moved toward us. So the ones on the outer edge of our sight have now moved out of our sight. We can calculate how far they would be now, but we can no longer see them with the telescopes we have.
