Because in the time it takes them to load up, line up (maybe multiple times), climb up, and dump, their opponents can load up, line up less precisely, and unload 12 points each. That's only 1 trip, if all 3 are 100% in the high goal, then if one of them floor loads another 4 (or makes another trip), they only need a 2-pointer to match the climber. That's about a 30-second or less span of time to erase the 50 points given by a climber/dumper in the entire match.
Now, that's without automode factored in. At 6 points/shot, and 9 total shots from preload, that's only 54 points in autonomous. The dumper's partners get to make up not only the 4, but whatever 3 scoring robots can land--and it's a 3-on-2 to boot.
