What am I missing?

For one thing, the bat hits the mitt a fraction of a sec after the catcher catches it; I take that to mean nearly at the same time, so unless the batter hit it on her back swing (not the situation offered), or unless the batter reached back to hit the glove (not the situation offered), the catcher's glove, the ball, and the bat were all in the same place at the same time. If the catcher caught the ball before the bat got to it on a legal swing, that may very well be CO even if there was no contact.
