Who says it doesn’t? That’s essentially what diarrhea is, your intestines not absorbing the water moving through system into the blood stream and just sending it right out.

Which poses the question, what can cause the intestines to not absorb the water?

Generally, an illness or eating something bad will trigger something in the stomach that tells the brain we need to empty the system now. The brain tells the intestines to fast track everything which doesn’t leave time for the water to be properly absorbed so it’s just along for the ride
