Memory is associative. So if you study a topic from different approaches or read other tangential material, that has connections to the topic, you remember it a lot better, thanks to associations.
Repetition techniques simply ignore associations.
Learning new vocabulary works up until 200-300 words, then it's useless.

Plus who says that repetition techniques can't include context (like sentences for instance?), Bunpro being a pretty good example of this for learning Japanese grammar Obviously don't just use SRS all day, consume media, read books, etc.
