Because it worked out for you, that time. As a manager and probably the person that would have told you no, or to justify more before we attempt it, I've seen this scenario go pear-shaped way more times than not. It's about risk, priorities, and specifically knowledge/experience (sometimes wrong) that says this is "not a good idea". Sometimes it's also just plain old complacency, though.
