Just realized most climbers I watch prune way too close to the branch collar

Watched a crew in Aurora take a 12 inch limb off a silver maple last Tuesday and they flush cut it, leaving a wound the size of a dinner plate. The collar is your tree's own Band-Aid, cutting into it kills the seal, so why do so many guys still do it?
