It doesn't necessarily require it, there are just always better ways to do stuff. Personally, I would use a little tetrix components as possible if I was a team myself, just like in FRC teams make sheet metal robots instead of using the KOP. The only difference is that in FTC almost everyone uses the KOP and it includes some of the game specific construction as well, partially stemming from the fact that you used to be strictly limited to using tetrix parts and another small list of parts, which has been loosened. As for the cost, I can't explain that.
