I guess just because they drift off. Or at least you cant be sure of keeping 
them
together. 

Sometimes you want a whole bunch of things to all happen "synchronously", to 
all happen in the same phase every time. An example is the paf~ algorithm, 
and here's little drum machine example attached. So you usually
have just one phasor that is your master timebase and derive everything
from that.

The difference is that with a metro you get messages as discrete events,
but with the phasor you get a continuous time marker - try changing the
tempo in the drum machine example to something very low ;)
