Conservation of resources. It may not be worth the effort of playing out the game just to get the result one expected.
What exactly is the resource being conserved, hours of the player’s life?
Hours of mental effort.
In very important tournaments, games can be intense enough that if you play a very long game (up to 6 hours of focus) you will be tired/play more poorly the next day
