Why is it bad to direct-drive?

Hi all.

I heard, on, I believe, multiple occasions that having motors attached directly to wheels is bad for the motors.

Could anyone tell me why?

IE if I had a CIM motor with a belt pulley on its shaft and had that connected to a pulley on one of my wheels, why would this be bad?
