No the reason is because it’s illegal. You can’t engage someone in an employee employer relationship and pay them as an independent contractor. >much easier manage This is patently false. Contractors are much much easier to manage. It is perfectly legal to hire contractors. There is nothing wrong with this. What you can’t do is hire a contractor and treat them as an employee. There is a legal difference. The IRS has a 20 part test.
