Why doesn't immune protect from destroy enemy hero?

[UniIsnor-1803]

With the advent of the wheel from warlock made me think “why not just use time out”. I made a pally deck and on the turn I was supposed to die I played the time out and still died. But immune protects creatures from being destroyed and shouldn’t there be counters to instant kill effects?

Edit: Destroy effects can kill immune creatures. What a world we live in.

It does not. Immune prevents damage but “destroy” effects do not deal damage. Immune does not protect against this effect.

No it does not.

It prevents targeting, and most destroy effects are targeted.

It does not prevent untargeted destruction, such as from Twisting Nether.
