The Hollow Knight failed because it wasn't truly hollow, developing an "idea" and emotional bonds with the Pale King (its creator/father), which allowed the Radiance (the source of the Infection) to influence it, breaking the seal. The core reason was the Pale King's flawed plan, as raising a vessel, even to seal away a god, instilled feelings and thoughts, making the vessel imperfect and susceptible to the Infection it was meant to contain, leading to the eventual downfall of Hallownest.
