Because the materials form which it is made do not conduct heat very well and because its construction includes a lot of padding which traps air in the glove. Air too is a poor conductor of heat.
Because of this poor conduction of heat when you pick up something hot when wearing an oven glove it will take a long time for the heat of the object to get through to your hand and burn you.
However, if the oven glove is wet, as water is a good conductor of heat, a wet glove will transmit the heat and you will get burnt.
