It would make sense if it were directly connected but it didn't evolve that way.

The ovary has many eggs. The connection is not direct to the ovary and the oviduct has to "catch" the egg as it leaves the ovary. At times the egg is not "caught" but gets into the free space. If the egg becomes fertilized, the fetus can began to develop outside the uterus.

In frogs, oviducts are the paired tubes through which eggs pass from the ovaries to the outside of the body during reproduction. They play a crucial role in fertilization, as sperm often meets the eggs in the oviducts. Additionally, the oviducts secrete substances that help form a protective jelly-like coating around the eggs before they are laid in water. This coating provides some protection and support for the developing embryos.
