Why is the adhesive not sticky?

I purchased 44mm series 6 screen adhesive from ifixit. I am just curious, why isn't it sticky? I peeled off the backing and there is virtually nothing holding it on, and the screen pops back off right away. Is there anything wrong with just using silicone or something to hold it on instead of this tiny adhesive strip that is not sticky?

You need a heat pad as it’s a thermal adhesive.
