Because white can only make one move at a time. It must be possible for black to make a move in between. Well, joshgregory7 said it differently, but correctly, by posting one word "stalemate". It is the whole point of understanding the puzzle.
What's wrong with 1. c8=Q#?

You already start off IN check.
Good puzzle. Didn't see the end until black took the pawn.
Because white's in check at the start of the puzzle. Nice problem!
Yes, sorry, missed that.

Excellent.
Shame it would never happen.
(If it did, it would be hilarious!)

Funny one. Looked like a chase in a Chaplin movie.
Actually, it is mate in 17 since 8 RF1-Re8 9 g4-Re1+ prolonges the mate by one move.
I loved it--chess should have tint of humour.
