In brief answer to your question, I guess it comes down to the 'potential' cost should you stuff things up.

Also with the Jet Ranger and other turbine engines, the possiblity of a cooking the engine (hot start) makes the insurers jittery. This is becoming less of a problem with 'automated' starts and engine control units taking more responsibility...but old habits die hard, and aviation is the biggest 'boys' club around.
