Well, there are enough users to what I have seen, having difficulties using recovery.
Providing a flashable image that can be restored with fastboot simplifies this.
Not different than what is done on all Android devices which also uses fastboot protocol.
Yes, recovery is fine and can do the same with dd.
However, using dd greatly increase the risk of erasing the wrong partition (for example bootloader)
