There are a wide variety of reasons. A few of them:

The 048 for track duty, they tend to heat cycle out and lose grip before your wear them out.

AD07 it's a pretty narrow front tire, some will change it go with a wider tire.

Cost is a big one for many. There are cheaper, longer wearing tires that are close to the OEM ones. It also depends on the level of performance your after. If it's more of a DD with a few spirited back road drivers, highest performance levels aren't at the top of the list.
