I am not really sure what you are asking. If you are asking if this is a bug: the answer is "no". TSM is operating correctly.
If you are asking for a philosophical reason: Well, if a schedule has no associated nodes, then there are no associations for that schedule. But maybe the original developers of the QUERY ASSOCIATION command thought it would be useful to show you which schedules had no associations. Thus QUERY ASSOCIATIONS gives you information about schedules with and without associations. On the other hand, the ASSOCIATIONS table is a strictly tabular view of which nodes are associated with which schedules. If there is no association, then there is no record in the ASSOCIATIONS table.
