'rookie' Commercial pressure & ego's, yr two main reasons.
A couple of mins saved on every other Arrival/Ldg per A/C over a year adds up especially with fuel guzzling turbo props/jets so I can see that commercialism has a huge impact on the Cmd'ers decision making that often overrides commonsense & good 'old Airmanship/courtesy.

Sure submit the paperwork as there is an avenue there for rectification but I think we all know that 'paperwork' does little at times & can in effect set up a culture of 'dob in yr mates', something Aussies are hard pressed to do, culture I guess, right or wrong it does exist.

As for poor Airmanship in the GA fraternity out there well it exists obviously (for a whole heap of reasons outside of the scope of this thread) but that's where a good skipper will factor in that anomaly & 'fit in' rather than display the same poor Airmanship.
