Why can’t you spot reduce fat?

I get that everyone stores/carries fat differently but wouldn’t it be more efficient to have a system where the fat near whatever muscles doing work gets broken down first?

I feel like the system being more efficient would still lead to fatty accumulation. If you could spot reduce fat it would lead to very skinny belly, but i would still imagine the excess energy must be stored as fat. So one would end up with massive love handles or fatty knees, if we assume the fat is stored equally across the body. And very top of the head is very short on muscles too, there would be massive pileup between the skull and the skin. This is all just thought experimenting on the body being more efficient. I strongly feel in this case smart is better than efficient.
