Because it is often slight misalignment that causes the handles to stick.
It adds friction to the system.

Speaking as an expert on the making and bodging of errors, I feel your
method will only make the original misalignment worse, and not leave the
option of moving the second knob in the opposite direction to the first!

Like everything else it needs some skill. It's how I've fitted new handles
for ages even on old doors. But obviously make good any old holes with new
wood first.

Non of my many door handles stick. ;-)

Facetiousness apart, I am sure your method is a very good one if you get
the holes in the right place and you can drill perpendicularly.
