Because sometimes the modification cuts things out of the frame.

The only modification that doesn’t cut things out, adds black bars to the top and bottom (because the aspect ratio of the theater screen is wider than your tv screen), but some people prefer the screen to be filled even at the expense of things being cut out of frame.
