Because for something to be considered objective the only necessary condition is that how something is lies entirely with the object itself and not with the person(s) looking at it. Whether or not we can measure it in actuality doesn’t matter for that definition.

Consider you could wire every existing person up to some kind of device that measures their physical and psychological pain and gives out a number, it doesn’t matter who looks at it, it would obviously always be the same number.
