ELI5:Why do we have to "play dead" while being viciously under atack by a bear?

I mean, they atack us and they can kill us, why do we have to play dead? Isnt it more easy for them? They can just eat us later. I'm super confused and I need someone to explain me this.

Playing dead will work if you’re being attacked by a mother grizzly defending her cubs. At that point, she has no interest in eating you, only getting rid of the perceived threat.

It is the wrong thing to do if you’re being attacked by a predatory bear. Especially a black bear. In that case, you're going to want to fight for your life with every ounce of your being.
