Again, these are the same blow-by gasses entering the engine that were there when your bike came out of the box.

If you put some paper into a jug, and connect a vacuum cleaner hose to the jug, the vacuum can't suck the paper out because there is no air flow (as long as everything is sealed). If you cut another hole, so air can get into the jug, then the paper can get sucked out.
I suppose if the crankcase leaked air, you could get some fresh air flow, but without that, all you are getting for flow is blowby... the very thing contaminating the oil.
In my experience, only bikes with some ring issues had any significant smoke coming out of the vent hose. After it's warm, the water vapor/blowby is usually invisible.

Bingo!
