eli5: Can anyone explain why all your checked baggage isn’t weighed collectively and instead weighed individually?

I was recently traveling and decided to check two bags in. Together, they weighed under the limit collectively, but individually one was overweight. Wouldn’t the total weight be all that matter though?

Most flights ive been on has weighed the luggage collectively, so you must be from US of A.
