Why wouldn’t they?

I’ve only ever had one person contact me from any of the dna sites I’m on and we couldn’t see how we were connected. However I have contacted quite a few myself. Ithinka lot of people do these tests just for fun to see where they come from and have no real interest in looking for relatives.

Gillian, the emails you get from myheritage re dna matches are just 'tempters', to get you to look. If you look at your dna matches, the closest matches appear on the first page or so. But you can look at all new matches by using a filter 'most recent'. New matches appear all the time as folk upload their results. I tend to check mine every week or so, mainly the first 3 pages.
The matches on these pages I usually review the first time I see them, and mark any that look promising. Most don't.
