Because that's how the game works.

Just treat the item as an empty treasure room, it is worthless.

Yup, lots of treasure rooms like that, you could always get a black candle, I believe that removes the curse effect from cursed eye but coudl be wrong on that, haven't tested it myself.

Well technically if you're playing the Lost, surely it is good since you can't get hit anyway?

Eh, I actually started with it (and the tick+a neutral pill too, satanic bible active was a bit more useful - though I swiftly swapped it for a blank card+jera combo (abused for a quick pile of black hearts via satanic bible while I was at it)..+starter deck for an extra slot which I used for other stuff) as Eden and had an incredibly good hard mode run despite it, didn't have the teleport trigger once in the entire run, and the only tear modifier I had was death's touch even by the time I reached the chest.
Once you get the hang of avoiding things and making sure you release charge if you're about to be hit it's not so bad. There's only a few things that hit you with no warning at all and are completely unpredictable (mainly a few specific telefrags..).

The 4x tear charge isn't the best, certainly, but it's no run killer if you know what you're doing and it does have good synergy with a couple of items too. Just don't combine it with something like brimstone and low tear stat, that would make it little more than a curse. Doesn't matter on the lost either, as you can't get hit to begin with there.

That said, I'm the type that will generally pick up whatever items the game gives me unless the synergy is horrible or there's simply no upside at all to it. I did despise the cursed eye the 1st time I got it, not knowing what exactly caused the occasional seemingly random teleport. Knowing to stop charging immediately when I'm about to get hit or take a close dodge helped a ton though, and after how well that last run went I'll probably pick it up despite the curse next time I come across it too...well, unless I have low speed, then it's probably a bad idea.

The positive effect of Cursed Eye is weak and will not make a run, but the teleport is absolutely crippling if you end up in an extended fight against e.g It Lives, Isaac or ??? due to low damage output. Playing around the dumb teleport effect is both distracting and likely makes your performance worse than it was before you got the item in the first place. If it's a pearl on a pedestal, walk away.

Black Candle blocks floor curses and nothing else.

I don't pick it up but curse of the blind happened and I picked it up without knowing.

[Curious Duck]

Don't charge 24/7

This shows you a Blue Baby run with it...

It's useful for boss/mob trap rooms, the boss rush room etc

I had polyphemus and cursed eye. Beat Satan after a ♥♥♥♥ ton of teleportations on Sheol. With curse of the lost. FUN.

It looks so much like the pearl.

You can easily tell the difference. The pearl is a trinket and as such not on a pedestal.
