It puts a lot of load on a end mill to dive or spiral into a part, even for center cutting end mills.
For teams with ATCs, it's generally faster to just drill a quick hole and dive your cutter into the part rather than taking a while to spiral down through the part. Of course, if you have to manually change tools, its probably faster just to spiral in.
