I assume you mean in comparison to TV shows, right? It’s a simple budgeting choice. TV shows don’t have a lot of money to spend per episode so they’ll choose a simpler way to animate things. Also there are time constraints, because episodes have to be finished on a tight schedule. Movies however are way more lenient when it comes to both money and time. So they can have a higher animation quality which often includes shading.
