the_title(); works in a page template, outside the loop. Why?

The global $post object exists already for singular views before wp_head is called. It is just not filled with all data.

The the_title() calls get_the_title() which in turn calls get_post(). And that calls $GLOBALS['post'] if no post ID has been passed.

See also Generating the ogp tags in theme for a use case.
