The cost of tools required to do everything adds up.
the thing is sometimes you don't know you've screwed up until months later when the tape starts cracking and puffing out. I painted a ceiling for someone after they finished the drywall on the ceiling. Guess who got a call back months later because the taping seams were cracking and showing?
