I guess just because they drift off. Or at least you cant be sure of keeping them together.
Sometimes you want a whole bunch of things to all happen "synchronously", to all happen in the same phase every time. An example is the paf~ algorithm, and here's little drum machine example attached. So you usually have just one phasor that is your master timebase and derive everything from that.
The difference is that with a metro you get messages as discrete events, but with the phasor you get a continuous time marker - try changing the tempo in the drum machine example to something very low ;)

I the risk of showing off serious lack of knowledge: When is this
approach different from using a metro object with the same
"frequency" as the phasor~?
