Because the Markdown parser “thinks” you want to write a, what they call it, “Setext” (structure-enhanced text) heading of level 1.

Like in

This is a Setext H1
=

Just add an extra newline.

Btw, this will also happen with one or more - for H2.

It was originally meant to more easily convert old text files to Markdown, where we used to write things like

This is a heading.
==================

Some text.

This is a subheading.
---------------------

More text.

Nowadays almost everyone uses the ATX heading style, since it offers heading levels 1…6:

# Heading Level 1
## Heading Level 2
### Heading Level 3
#### Heading Level 4
##### Heading Level 5
###### Heading Level 6

If it helped, you might want to mark it a solution, so others know this has been solved. (A green checkbox then appears in the list.)
