This may not be a complete answer, but it’s partly because it’s so easy to get off tempo, even for the pros. With a song lasting several minutes and nothing to register the tempo, it would be almost impossible to maintain with vocals only. If those vocal tracks are going to lay over other instruments, it won’t work if the vocals are even slightly off. Click-tracks help ensure everyone is following the same tempo.
Shout out to all the drummers who are the metronomes for their bands!
