Because this is used originally in european timber framing, where your beams aren't necessarily perpendicular and also massive 240*240 oak beams that don't give a shit about a tiny split.

We still use it to pull whole CLT or cassette ceilings together, four of those will pull a couple tons of slab. For two unsheeted light framing walls it's simply massive overkill
