Because opening a frame on the right monitor is the job of the window
manager, not Emacs.
Notice how make-frame-on-current-monitor always sets the "user specified
position" flag in the window manager hints property. The window manager
will then blindly obey the initial position (0, 0 from the origin of the
monitor) instead of placing the window in the right monitor while also
taking into account window placement constraints and policy.
