Why all the mismatched traffic goes to the first VirtualHost, and not by default to the httpd.conf site configuration

Question

I always wondered why all the inappropriate traffic goes to the first VirtualHost, and not to the default site configuration httpd.conf?

Suppose httpd.conf has not been edited.

I create a file called /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost.conf

With the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName website.com
        ServerAlias www.website.com
        DocumentRoot "/site1"
        <Directory "/site1">
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>

        Some Rules Here
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName example.com
        ServerAlias www.example.com
        DocumentRoot "/site2"
        <Directory "/site2">
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>

        Some Rules Here
</VirtualHost>

In the above example, if you send a request to stackoverflow.com, you should be filtered in the first vhost, no matter what filters, and not the default website in httpd.conf

What am I missing?
