Because you can't define a named custom formula by composing the built-ins. So every cell is just the same copy-pasted formula string. When you need to change something, you have to change it everywhere and pray that you didn't miss one usage.

I can't count how many times I found a bug in a spreadsheet because someone (who might be me) missed one or two instances.
