Answer: pure symmetry might look to bland/boring to some and they want to appeal more to viewers of the piece.

Step-by-step explanation:

approximate symmetry can catch the eye more because the piece is still balanced with some symmetry but enough differences on both sides of the image to still be visually engaging. the viewer might look at the picture for longer to see all of the details given by the approximate symmetry.
