Because the Find My network can't locate the device.


Their device might be off; or it is in a location with insufficient signal; they have temporarily turned off Find My; it is in a basement carpark and lost the signal; the iPhone is in a lift which is a very effective Faraday cage; they are not in a Wi-Fi network and their phone data is off - there are many reasons.
