For the same reason that the amount of water you pour into a container doesn't tell me the depth. The depth in a teapot and a swimming pool are different even if you pour the same amount of water into both of them.

The temperature change of a boxcar load of lead and a gallon jug of Oxygen are different, even if you transfer the same amount of heat into both of them.
