Because if row 1/column y cell is empty, you do not have triples that match 
this graph pattern:

?unitCell ss:row 1 .
?unitCell ss:column ?y .

You have multiple triples that match

?x ss:row 1 pattern

And you have multiple triples that match

?x ss:column ?y  pattern

You do not have any triples that match both.


If you think of your data as a graph and understand query as a graph pattern 
matching process, this becomes quite clear.  It helps to draw out the data in a 
graph.

The question goes back to understanding fundamentals of RDF graph data model. 
It is hard (and I would not advise) to move to more complex topics of OWL and 
SHACL (or even RDFS) until RDF is fully understood.

In trainings, I typically spend significant time just on RDF, then followed by 
SPARQL - because one can’t do SPARQL until they understand RDF. Conversely, if 
they do understand RDF, SPARQL should be fairly easy.

Only after that, it is possible to successfully move on and master other topics.
