Because you've added a page to the notebook.
That's what you call to gtk_container_add() here is doing.

gtk_container_add() is a function to add a child to a parent
in a generic way without specifying any parameters that
are specific to the notebook. 

If you add a page with gtk_notebook_append_page() (etc.) then
you can specify the tab label. Since you use
gtk_container_add(), the notebook widget has to make
one up.
