Because communication is more than just language. It relies on context, body orientation, use of space, hand gestures, facial expressions, our relationship and history with those we are talking to, our cultural expectations, and more.
I think that human language being comprised of not only verbal components but physical ones aswell is what makes people so intruiging. It makes me think about communication between animals, insects, and even fungi. I love that there are so many intricate ways one can communicate depending on who it's to, the time, place, and information being communicated. Language being multi-faceted is one of the things I feel helps people learn how to think critically when they're growing up. You learn to pick up on cues and the 'right' ways to respond to certain information and situations. As a kid, I remember blurting things out that, while true, had negative impacts on people around me at the time. I didn't understand why they were upset because, in my mind, I was just relaying information. Figuring out that there is a time and place for certain things is important, or better yet not saying anything at all.
