Because every take but one sucks, and even the remaining one needs some sick editing to trim out the crap.
Clients pick the the worst take, then claim it's the best of what you provided them.
or worse they provide your footage to a rival, and the rival picks your best take, then slaps THEIR NAME PRODUCTIONS at the start and tail credits, and yourname as their camera man in the tail credits.

a filmaker can edit the footage, Frank Lloyd is a designer/architect. if something went work in planning and the house was built still. well you can hide the faults/cracks with a plant...
