Glues or adhesives tend to work in one of three basic ways:
Some work by “drying” out (in fact the solvent evaporates, concentrating the chemicals).
Some work by reacting chemically with the air (oxidation) to change the chemicals into adhesives.
Then there are other types you may have used which need mixing in two parts (each part alone won’t set).
I am guessing that you are asking about the first two types. When they’re inside the tube the solvent can’t evaporate, nor can the air get to the chemicals, so until they come out, they won’t stick!

Inside the bottle there's a lot of glue so it would take forever for it to dry out. Also, you close the top of the bottle so it doesn't dry out.
I suppose if you left the bottle open in direct sunlight or under a blowdrier for a very long time all the glue would dry out and then it would stick.

Because of the different chemical properties of the glue and the bottle...glue is a polar molecule while the bottle is made up of non polar substances, so they don't stick to each other- they repel one another.

AIR TIGHT LID keeps the glue from harding up.

It needs air to dry. if you notice. when you do not put the lid on tight air gets in and the glue is thick and lumpy partially dry.

They hire these green fairies to crawl inside the bottles and grease them down before they fill them up.

There's no air inside so it can't dry up.
