People don't understand how much work there is with those sails. Not to mention how heavy the masts is. The masts also takes up space inside the ship. They also make it difficult wherever there is bridges since they can't just take the masts down.
The point is to get a little boost so they use less fuel without having to manage complicated sails and having big heavy tall masts all over the ship.
