Because there is no rule that your robot can't go into the lane. The only rule is that your bot does not touch any of the other teams bots.
This is true for the key as well.

[G28] Robots may not touch an opponent Robot in contact with its Key, Alley, or Bridge.
The opposing Alley itself is not off-limits. All Alley hoarding strategies require a guarding robot of the same Alliance as the Alley itself. The Feeder robot corners itself around the collection slot, not touching (and thus actively controlling), but close enough to keep opposing robots from picking up. Variations include the defending robot picking up <= 3 balls at a time and shooting them back across the field.
