Why pickles do not spoil easily?

You mean canning or pickling? When you pickle something, you normally put vinegar in it. Some bacteria don't prefer to live in a slightly acidic environment (vinegar is a little acidic). So the vinegar will deter SOME bacteria from growing, which may prevent spoilage.

When you can or pickle something, make sure to heat it very hot 165 degrees then close it TIGHT, immediately after you put it in the jar. This will prevent bacteria from living in the jar and spoiling the food!

I would say that securely jaring and properly heating the food is the main reason why jarred or canned food items don't spoil.

What does not spoil even though it is exposed to bacteria?

Foods such as salted pork, strawberry preserves, and sweet pickles do not spoil when exposed to bacteria because of their cells and its sugar and salt content. When cells have enough salt or sugar, the cell membrane (which is selectively permeable) does not allow salt or sugar into the cell and therefore does not allow bacteria into the cell. Hence, the food does not spoil.
