Because it's double the work AND costs money twice. You do what you want, but that's a pretty cut 'n' dry example of "stupid."
This entire thread is a convenient curation of every terrible question/idea that most people who don't research ask. The difference is that most people only ask 1 or 2 of them before they realize they aren't ready and need to do a lot more research. Or they rage quit.
So, kudos for hanging in there, but man... we didn't need the curation of stupid.

Also you can sell said new stock clutch, add money and get a proper clutch from the get go.
If you install it, it will have zero value and you will spend money twice. And twice the labor.
Well, more than twice the labor, since its cake to put a clutch with engine on a stand, but a bitch to pull transmission off an assembled car.

Ever pulled a transmission with the car in the air? 50x easier.
Ill buy a better clutch. I can’t return this clutch, it came with the car when I bought it. I’m not losing any money by using it.
Maybe I can sell it, if I do then I’ll put some more money in and get a better clutch. It’s gonna be a while before the engine is ready to go in the car anyway.

its a royal BITCH to do, you need to remove manifold down pipe, exhaust midpipe, driveshaft, ppf, underbody nb2 bracing, center console and rubber boots and/or shifter, not to mention the PAIN IN THE *** bolts that actually hold the transmission, starter, clutch line, and electrical wires.
with a proper lift its a bit easier, but its still a bitch to do. With a million things that need to be removed and reinstalled.

Having done it a few times myself I would pay a few hundred extra dollars just not to have to do it twice because my time has significant worth. It is certainly not that I can't or won't do it.
I see it as being similar enough to the story of the young bull and the old bull standing on a hill.

Assuming the car in question isn't leaky and/or rusty garbage, i really don't get the hate. I mean, it's not something i do to unwind on a Saturday afternoon, but it's not bad at all. It's less fun with a Qmax AND a Racing Beat header still attached, but it's a walk in the park if it's just one or the other.
