How come external HDDs can't be ejected from Disk Utility?

When I click ⏏ in Finder to eject a USB or a SDD the drive disappears in Disk Utility. How come external HDDs only disappear in Finder but not in Disk Utilty when I ⏏?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

If this is not what you are currently asking, then you need to rephrase the question.
