Why did the proclamation not actually free any enslave people?

Because it was only a Proclamation, not an Act.
It applied to the Southern states - in other words, the states over which Lincoln had no authority at that time.
It was really meant for the ears of the British and French, warning them that they could no longer help the Confederates without declaring themselves to be pro-slavery.
