Deleting an iMessage on a Single Computer/Device

This is not a problem I am having; just a curious question. When I recieve an iMessage text (using OS Big Sur), it appears on my Mac computer as well as on my iPhone. If I delete a text (i.e. conversation) on my Mac, that same text will still remain on my iPhone although the pop-up indicates that deleting the text will occur across all devices. Could someone please explain this? Thank you so much.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)
