Not sure what their reasons might be but  mine depend on what the target is: sometimes miniroot takes you where you want to go faster then installing.
Generally, right after the miniroot is up, the very first thing I do is manually install, configure and update slackpkg. Once slackpkg is working you can, pretty much quickly, add the other stuff you need.
