Because you didn't sync(1) the filesystem or fsync(2) the directory
before you cut the power. Hence the change never hit the disk.

That'll be pure fluke - ext4 delays journal writes on namespace
operations just like XFS does.

If you want directory operations to hitthe disk immediately, then
mount with the "-o wsync" option. Be aware, however, that this will
kill performance unless you have expensive storage with a large
amount of battery backed write cache in front of the disks. There's
a good chance it will also cause excessive wear on SSDs due to the
frequent journal writes.
