Could someone explain to me why the released image isn't completely shining white?

I thought if one were to look deep enough into space, in any direction, there would be near an infinite amount of stars at various depths and distances, fully covering the entire spectrum of observation.

Just curious why that picture doesn't completely light up.
We still cant see far enough to see all the sources of light. Some of them are too far away and continue to move away so fast that we will never be able to see them because their light will never reach us.
