Default Arrow cutting

A bunch of you guys on here have recommended that you cut off the arrow at both ends. Normally the bends in a carbon shaft are on the end.

Today I talked to GT about replacing 2 of my arrows that are bent on the ends when I recieved them.(They are sending me 2 new arrows)

Tim expanded a little one what I've learned here. He recommends cutting an equal length off of each end. Not final length. Spin the arrow to see if one end still wobbles. If one end still wobbles cut that end off to get arrow to length. If both wobblecut again on both ends(Not to final length). I know that if my arrows would have been cut at both ends I wouldn't have needed 2 new ones. The other arrows in the set are good.

So, I'm buying some sort of cutoff saw and from now on cutting myself or having a friend do it.

The question I have is: Why doesn't all of the shops or places like Bowhunter's Superstore do this if this is a known issue that is easy to correct by cutting both ends?
