Because you’re not doing the pilotage, dead reckoning or radio navigation required.
FAA Council ruling:

One notable exception, XC for ATP does not require a landing > 50 nm
You and a buddy are flying to an airport 101NM away and he is PIC for a portion of the flight and you are PIC for a portion of the flight.
You can now log your part as XC with the understanding you need to log the furthest point he flew or the transfer point.
Either as lat/long or overhead an airport or VOR bearing/distance.
Thats ATP only though.
If I ever join the FAA this “safety pilot time” would really be my pet.
It was never the intend of the regulation to allow time building, the intend was regaining Instrument currency after your 6 months have expired and since the ‘look out’ has to be PIC they
may log it.
