Why constant mortality rate is non-aging?

Subpopulation of an exponential distribution is the same distribution. So, as long as individuals can live to the next day, they will start the next day as if they are new-borns.  Everyday is a Groundhog Day in these non-aging systems.

Individuals from different ages have the same risk of dying. Or, some external factor are killing all individuals regardless of their ages.
