so, this is where you're wrong. if no oxygen gets to the brain after about 2 mins, you're brain damaged. Freedivers oxygenate their entire systems with the breathe up, then full their lungs to capacity before doing a pool breath hold (static breath hold). Meaning that oxygen is still getting to the brain for several minutes. The issue is that CO2 builds and your limbs are starved making your brain send signals for you to breathe. I'm a freediver myself. Certified Intermediate with PFI. the body is capable of amazing things man.

Once in the middle of history class finished a test far earlier than everyone else so I decided to try to hold my breath for as long as possible. I took 30-40 seconds to relax then started a timer on my phone. I held my breath for 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I think one thing that really helped me with this was that, at this time, I had been playing clarinet for over 4 years .

I know how to do that lung packing thing, I didn't know that was something divers do, but I definitely knew it helped before holding my breath. My parents used to worry about me because when I would play in the pool with my siblings to find coins I would be under way longer lol. Something about slowly drifting looking for coins is so soothing to me, all I could hear was gentle water movements and my heartbeat. I also used to just sit underwater and meditate or look at the sky so they thought I was drowning 🤣

I think the stimulus (the one where cold water touches the face and thus the heart rate is decreased) evolved during the winter, this helps animals hibernate, but also this might be helpful when an organism is drowning or flowing down a river, if the heart rate is decreased then the rate of breathing is also decreased ever so slightly.
Fun fact: you can hold your breath for the rest of your life

TL;DR because you need to breathe air to survive.
KZread has the answers to questions you never asked.
I'm missing the final conclusion on what exactly limits the time (except for the lack of oxygen in the body) but for example at which percentage you just have to stop before passing out or even dying
