It should be pretty obvious. You are able to look in real time at Jupiter and it’s moons. Webb looked at a single point for 12h to capture those galaxies. Hubble had to look for over 100h to take the deep field image. The human eye can’t collect light for 12h to create an image. The eye also only sees visible light so everything Webb sees is invisible to us.

Brightness falls off exponentially with distance.
