Quite simply, Neil Armstrong was up in the rotation. The crew assignments were designated before actual mission planning took place. NASA did not have any way of knowing for certain that Apollo 11 would be the actual first landing mission since there was a chance things could go wrong (see, for example, both Apollo 1 and Apollo 13). Essentially, Armstrong and Aldrin were lucky. It was their turn to fly.
