All of their defense responses are geared towards something coming at them from above. The surface they're on moving doesn't tend to trigger their flight response because if it did any time there was the tinniest breeze or movement they'd get off whatever plant they just landed on.
It's also faster than you think it is. This might be slowed down a little bit

They probably drown before any meaningful dissolving/burning happens, and most animals drown quietly to my non-biologist understanding. There's not a lot of evolutionary benefit to alerting other mice since they can't/wouldn't help and it's not like an active predator that could chase them down. As far as I know it's mostly limited to humans and domesticated animals that are accustomed to someone coming to their aid and being able to physically pull them out of situations of distress. when an animal thinks it's drowning and it can't expect that help it's not energy efficient to tire itself out quicker by wasting extra breath screaming.

They probably drown in a matter of minutes. Not very different from if a mouse falls into a river.

Larger pitcher plants can catch mice. The squealing has to be horrible :(

And yet I move my hand slowly to ready myself to slap a fly, and they fly away instantly.

Well, if we don't care about one small issue in language, that will lead to us not caring about one slightly larger issue in language, and so on and so forth, eventually leading to us reverting to to pre-caveman levels of communication (random yelling and throwing things at each other to make a point.)

Flytraps close in about a third of a second. Too fast for a fly to escape.

I have 2. Ones been alive for over 2 years now. The others about a year old. The "mouths" only survive for about 2-3 feeding cycles if that. But they just grow new ones
