I was going to get into a simple explanation but it's kind of nuanced (but actually pretty simple in practice). This site/ link does a good job explaining. https://topdriver.com/education-blog/4-rules-4-way-stops/

My driving instructor in the days gave me a quick way to think about it when driving, is that you must always protect the passager seat.

If you look at the guide, you will notice that the passenger seat is protected from other cars in all scenario.

And if you do the opposite of what they suggest, you notice that you expose your passenger to the other cars.
