You don't want to do it twice.
Hence, you spend the (possibly) unnecessary cash on all the components because it means you bleed once and are done.

Really? I bled it by myself (left hand on the wrench, right hand reaching over the door hinge to the pedal), it took like 5 minutes. The whole system is so short, it shouldn't take long at all to bleed (unlike the brakes).
