I didn't come here for my own thoughts, I came here for others' thoughts
Generally one of three things:
1) They just wish they hadn't been caught, and are trying to deflect blame.
2) They know what they did, and are ashamed.
3) They don't believe that what they did was wrong, and feel they've been unfairly judged.

it's just a really obvious question like "why do people get hungry when they don't eat"?

Pretty sure it's a smidge more complicated
>why do some people get anger & hostile when they're caught doing something wrong?
it's a negative event and they become upset
Not everyone reacts like this, usually only immature people or people with personality disorders do.
There are plenty of people out there who will take the blame and not get hostile or threatening.
Anger and crying diffuses blame, and in an attempt to shift the subject from what they did wrong to what the other person "did wrong" in the situation.
