Because anyone with a checkbook can have a $60k+ trailer queen built and never get to enjoy it. I build mine to drive and every vehicle regardless how over the top it has been has been a street driven vehicle at least a portion of the time after it's build.
Lead filling, flathead/nailhead/stovebolts, Chop, channel, sectioning etc. are all arts that are a large part of Americana and the history of automotive enthusiasm, racing etc.
