Why?, because, I assume, the Tribal villlagers, stare at the wonders of the stars and the heavens, but don't get around to Sailing over the Briney Briney sea's.
Again, you'd have to wonder why, they wouldn't just sail the oceans and trade with far and distant lands.
Historically it makes sense too, many ancient Civ's have comprehensive knowledge of the stars, moon and sun, but didn't have knowledge of sailing open oceans.
I guess too much naval gazing, and looking at the sky, and not where they were going...
Compass, would come from Knowledge of the stars and navigation, but why no open ocean sailing. Never advanced past canoes?? though the Polonesians used outrigger conoes for travel and colonisation of the pacific, but mainly through Island hopping, not traversing the great Oceans of the world such as the Atlantic/Indian or Great southern ocean.
Island hoping is one thing, Continential traverse is another.
