It doesn't.

You can just remove the blunder in your code and try again.

To wit:

    << ... ... >>

makes music parallel.  In contrast,

    << ... \\ ... >>

creates an upper and lower voice context with appropriate settings for
an upper and lower voice context for the left and the right expression
and puts those separate voice contexts with their special settings in
parallel.

That is most definitely not what you want or need here.  Remove the \\ .
