A good reason not to mix and match is the experience those of us who have ever commuted on the Northern Line in London have experienced.

You often find that the first two or three trains aren't going where you want, so you have to wait. In off -peak, it can be a long wait. You also introduce a network bottleneck, reducing the overall number of available trains.

Keeping the two lines separate, with a simple change should be faster than making you wait for the first direct train.
