For the same reasons when someone asked me why I just didn't buy corned beef instead of curing and making my own.
Because I can its cheaper I know what I am getting and I am not reliant on other people.
There is another method of making a hoop or large radius in pipe.
It is a little complected and you have to have your ducks in a row.
This is where you bend angles in the pipe at a certain angle and a certain distance apart.
It can be done with a common conduit bender.
This is a really slick way to do it if you want to install glass panels.
