Why is it better to transplant to gradually larger pots instead of putting a plant into a pot that it can grow into and then not disturb it?

Question

Why do some potted plants benefit from being root bound and transplanting should be regularly done to gradually larger pots? When they grow in the ground there’s unrestricted space, so why do you want to avoid planting them in a larger pot to begin with?

Frequently you plant several seeds in small pots and choose the best one to transplant into a new Elysium. Though I guess you could just plant several seeds in a massive plot and pinch out the lesser mortals.
