ELI5: Why doesn't a garden-hose eventually explode even when the tap is on and the nozzle on the other end is shut-off/closed?

Like when you're watering your lawn and plants, then forget to turn it off, and don't notice for a couple of days, why doesn't the hose or anything eventually explode? Probably has to do with the plumbing, if so, how?

Your plumbing supplies water at a certain maximum pressure.  That pressure is lower than the pressure required to stretch the hose.  So it's less like blowing up a balloon, and more like blowing through a pinched straw.  No matter how hard your lungs can blow, the straw's not going to explode.
