Why (eval-when-compile (require 'foo)) does not bind functions during co

Subject: Why (eval-when-compile (require 'foo)) does not bind functions during compilation?

As in the subject.  The manual says that it does define macros from the
library “foo”, but not functions.  Why is that so?  I would think that
the above form actually evaluates the (require 'foo) part during
compilation, so in particular it should evaluate all the defuns there –
but both experiments and manual confirm that I’m wrong.  Where is my
mental model incorrect?

TIA,
