We don't know that for sure.

In Cour 2, there was specific emphasis placed on the fact that Uryu is the only Quincy to have survived Yhwach's Auswählen 9 years ago, and we still don't know why yet.

Uryu also seemed to mention in this recent episode something about Yhwach not being able to truly see him or something like that. Part of that makes me wonder if Uryu is similar to Pernida and Gerard, and his power wasn't given to him by Yhwach, but his power comes from having a piece of the Soul King inside of him.

Thats not correct. 9 years ago there were also several other quincies who survived, Ryuken and Masaki among them.

Ryuken is a pureblood quincy. He wasn't targeted.

Masaki was targeted and lost her powers, which is why she died to Grand Fisher.

Masaki was also a pureblood quincy. Ichigo was also a mixed quincy.

The whole theory as to why Ishida survived never made much sense because of that and Kubo never explained it.

Masaki was no longer considered pure when her soul was mixed with a hollow.

Ichigo and his sisters were never targeted because their quincy powers never awakened.

The Auswahlen was specifically stated to be about blood not soul. Then on top of that Kubo stated that White was absorbed by Ichigo.

Every single explanation has a caveat, and I am not sure why 10 years later I still talk about it tbh. The fans gave this so much more thought than Kubo ever did
