We discourage using the CPU miner with the Ethereum mainnet

I was just reading https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/interface/mining and that: "We discourage using the CPU miner with the Ethereum mainnet" made me think why? I guess this is for environmental be green reasons? But it's ok just for testing?

IIRC GPU mining is something like 100x faster, so you're unlikely to ever make any money.
