Because you don't have to be in contact with the Earth in order to be
gravitationally attracted toward it. Just being anywhere near it is good
enough.
In fact, just being is good enough.
Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Since gravity acts at a distance and does not require direct contact with the object, weight is considered a non-contact force.
Gravity is considered a non-contact force because it does not require direct physical contact between objects to act. It is a force of attraction between any two objects with mass, acting over a distance without the need for physical contact.
Weight is considered a non-contact force because it acts at a distance without direct physical contact between objects. It is the force of gravity pulling an object toward the center of the Earth, regardless of any physical contact between the object and other bodies.
That means that it acts at a distance.
Thrust is a non-contact force. It is a force exerted by an object in a fluid, such as air or water, in the opposite direction to the object's motion. It does not require physical contact between the object and the fluid medium.
Gravity is action at a distance, a non contact force

Gravity.
No, upthrust would not be considered a non-contact force. It would be considered a contact force. It is making contact with an updraft of air.

Non-contact. Gravity can effect objects separated by hundreds of millions of light years -- which is why our galaxy is moving towards the Sharpley Super-cluster.

A non-contact force is any force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it. The most common example of a non-contact force is gravity. A non-contact force is different from a contact force, which is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it. However it is to be noted that the origin of all contact forces can be traced to non-contact forcesIn physics, a contact force is a force between two objects (or an object and a surface) that are in contact with each other. This is distinct from a non-contact force, or action-at-a-distance force (a force that acts over a distance), such as gravity or magnetic attraction/repulsion.
Gravity is a non-contact force, meaning it can exert its influence on objects without direct physical contact between them. This force is responsible for the attraction between all objects with mass.
