Because
The existing diagram does not accurately represent the behavior of git fetch upstream. Fetching from the upstream remote updates the local remote-tracking references but does not update the local main branch. Clarifying this distinction makes the diagram more accurate and helps learners better understand how Git fetch and merge operations work.
