Dominance & recessivity of alleles simply have nothing to do with their inheritance. Neither is inherently tied to selection advantage.

That does not help op find his answer at all. You clearly know the right answer but gotta try doing a better job at explaining it to them, like they are 5

OP can ask a followup question if they want. Otherwise, I'd be writing an essay explaining a bunch of things that aren't really related just to make the point they aren't related.

"Recessive alleles aren't selected out because there's nothing about recessivity that inherently carries selection disadvantage" is a perfectly fine point to start with.
