Probably the same reasons you seldom father any threads of your own... a marked preference
for sitting on your gloved hands because of a spectator pre-disposition, indecision, cowardice.

there are too many nuances to truth,
there are too many subtleties to lies...
yer question wants simplicity, unattainable,
unlike slicing up a pie...
if you find an answer you like, grampy bobby, it will be the wrong one...

A meteorite hitting the ground with or without an atmosphere will generate sound.
