One more reason not mentioned so far is the cost of customer support.
When the kit is built and doesn't work, the phone calls begin, not to
mention the possibility of shipping it back and forth. 

Regardless whether the assembler made an error or a part is actually
bad, those problems would be caught in a regular manufacturing plant
and fixed much more cheaply, I'm sure.
