Because the rules you gave were:

>PIE > pp-PS
>*ai, *oi > *e

Obviously wrong. *ai gives /ê/, not /e/, and only after the
first palatalzation.

>pp-PS > p-PS
>*V(:) > *jV(:), /V front

Wrong as I explained (*ji would have given /i/, not /I/, in
OCS).

>p-PS > PS
>*k > *c
>*kW > *k
>PS >

Wrong, since PIE *k and *kW before vowels merged already in
PBS, giving Slavic /k/ before back vowels, /c^/ before front
vowels (and later /c/ before secondary /ê/ from *ai, as well
as after *i(:(N))).
