Because seven years of schmoozing and building relationships with hiring managers in some transect of industry is not replicable in a few months.
All of the recruiters I work with have put in copious amounts of time to understand how to put the right candidates in front of me and have learned from every proposed slam dunk I or one of my staff flunked out.
This attitude is some combination of contempt for the low end of the market and the dentist's fallacy. Certainly, the low end of the market runs on shotgun work, but the high end of the market is not replicable with ~any of the last decade of your software development skills.
