Why do so many people colony breed buttons?

[Randombeeboo]

Title says it all,, why??
from a lot of people and my own experience colony breeding buttons doesn't seem to go very well, but all the influencers and people making videos seem to be colony breeding without an issue, are they just not showing the issues or are they somehow succeeding?

update on my buttons, I just got my first chicks from my main pair, they seem to be doing well

I guess because then they don’t have to buy/make as many cages, feeders, etc. I keep a trio of males together, but I do think that they fight a little.
