Without advocating anything, there are two very straight-forward (but not necessarily easy) reasons:
- You can't win a head-to-head Teleop, but you beat them in Hybrid
- You know you can't win a head-to-head Teleop, and the best bet for your alliance is the Bridge. Even if it's not guaranteed, it could be your best shot if that's the way the alliances are skewed.

Essentially, If you can gain a considerable lead in Hybrid or get within your Bridge differential, but know you can't hold it once their Teleop scoring picks up, shutting down ball control could be very effective. Don't assume the only way to get ahead it to do something that hoarding inhibits.
