ELI5: Why can't I see millions of stars from the airplane window?

There isn't a ton of light pollution up at 30,000 feet. Why can I only see a couple stars when I'm flying?
Edit: On a night flight, I mean.

The internal sources of light inside the cabin are interfering and also perhaps your perspective, as you are panning mostly horizontally out the window and not vertically. It would probably work better if it was pitch black in the cabin, and the top of the aircraft was translucent.
