Hello Mate
Answer is
For the same reason we don't explode despite the amount of energy we stuff our faces with!
Leaves are an evolved system that is specifically designed to get energy from the sun. When you understand this, There no living organism that would die in the process of doing its most vital process. It is not compatible with life. Once a leaf is dead, like everything else it does dry out in the sun.
Sometimes leaves do burn under direct sun, it leads to spontaneous forest fires. A number of those are started by lens effects, possibly most of the time due to drop of water or objects acting as a lens and concentrating the sun's energy into a small point, reaching high enough energy density to start a fire. This would require very dry leaves, or leaves with a low content of water and some flammable phytochemicals.
If your question excludes that scenario, and asks why do live leaves not get on fire under direct sun
