Swerve Drive with Servos

We were looking into making a swerve drive if not for this year then next year and I seen where you can use any commercially available servo up to a certain limit on power. (I think 4w at 6vdc) I was thinking servo's would be awesome for a steer motor since you can just tell it what angle you want it to turn to. Is there some reason people don't do this? Is it because the max size servo allowed is not strong or fast enough to turn a swerve drive? Also what is the reasoning behind not letting in stepper motors? They seem to be the best option if they were allowed.
