The reason is that there are some places where getting a fill after your first dive is either difficult or impossible, Kimmeridge springs to mind.
Or ... sometimes when going out on a boat, the boat will not return to port between dives.
Or ... if air is available there might not be enough time to get a fill, e.g. you might find that your boat is leaving in an hour and the air station is full of cylinders to be filled and it's going to take an hour and a half to get yours filled.
