Because everything is on them. Real deliverables sit beside reminders, half of it is done but not ticked, and the ordering reflects when things were typed rather than what has to happen first.
So people keep a private list of what actually matters, and the shared one becomes a place where work goes to be forgotten.
A task carries an owner, an estimate, a status and its position in the plan. Dependencies are explicit — this blocks that — so the order is a property of the work rather than of the sort column.
Board, list, table and personal queue are views of the same tasks. Changing a status on the board changes it everywhere, because there is only one task.
The question "what should I do next" has an answer that does not require a meeting. Unblocked work rises; blocked work says what it is waiting for and who owns that.
When something slips, the effect is visible immediately rather than at the next status call, and the person whose work is now late finds out from the plan rather than from a client.
They will not decide priority for you. Dependencies establish what is possible, not what is important, and the two are different questions.
Automation stops at the point a person should look: a recurring task generates, but it does not close itself because time passed.
Nothing here is an integration. Each line is two products reading the same record from different sides.

Fourteen days, every module, no card. Or half an hour with someone who will run it on your own records and tell you where it does not help.
