One reason is because all the shop manuals specify torque settings, and mention nothing about degrees of rotation. The MB shop books all show the "manual" type torque wrenches, just for what it's worth.
There is a lot to be said for developing the "feel" for how tight is enough. I try to use 3/8 drive for just about everything except the really big stuff, it's usually harder to overtighten with a smaller handle.
