Someone's going to say that you prevent red from crossing to the other side. Well, only 2 bots need to do that, and R3 (or whomever) that stays is going to be perilously close to the bridge for B3 to run into them without the possibility of a technical, and automatic 40 points for red.

What am I missing?

Right, and these are all different ways of avoiding a potential situation like the one I described up there. (By the way, I watched the GKC regional, and those matches were awesome!) What is the enemy of the teams who attempt to triple? Not Defense, not mistakes. It's time. (mistakes are a small part of it, but time covers that). Often it's a race against the clock, to ensure you have enough time to triple. It's a reason why HOT is so dominant on the bridge, they minimized time needed to balance.
In the case of crossing the barrier, any obstruction will delay the bots from getting to their positions. As long as time is wasted in defensive interactions with a bot, the potential of a triple balance goes down.
