Because the full range, isn't available with electric. To get the rest of the way you use the wheel.
That was the whole point of the EASA note.
IE. full range is +/- 10 but electric only goes +/-8. the limit switches stop electric trim so you can't accidentally get too far with the switch. If you really need the rest of the range the wheel give it to you.
