Tradition. I can think of no reason other than "I've always done it that way." We usually just stub the NM cable out and then hook it up. No "1900" boxes, mulberry's or cords to deal with later.

When I first visited southern California and Las Vegas, I thought "Wow, they are pretty cord crazy out here." I thought the "all-in-one" loadcenter located outdoors was pretty weird. The lack of oil heat as an option was also quite disturbing.
