Because there is only ever one voice. To create new voices, you need to
write << ... \\ ... >> or explicitly \new Voice. If you write << ... >>
that is just a way of rearranging the writing order in a single voice.
In this particular case, all of \voiceOne \stemUp \voiceTwo \stemDown
happen at the same musical time in the same voice. \voiceTwo takes
effect, and \stemDown does nothing more since it is already implied in
\voiceTwo.
