Because that’s how [hyper-threading](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading) works. It is a mechanism that allows each physical processor core to act as two separate virtual cores, allowing the operating system to execute two threads on that core in parallel.
Before we had cores we had hyper threading where a CPU could natively divide into two virtual processors.
The cpu maintains two sets of registers so splitting workloads is more efficient than in software multi threading.
