Businesses take risks, they get the reward. Smart businesses are able to minimise the risk ie, put in place a process that will improve or get rid of a bad worker.
Putting in place risk-minimisation HR processes is often something that small businesses don't have time to do. They're too busy working.

If you're a sparky and you've started a business wiring up airconditioning units, anything that takes you out of a ceiling and uses up hours that could be spent inside a ceiling wiring up an airconditioning unit hurts you and your family. Time spent diligently developing risk-minimisation HR processes is time that you're not in a ceiling wiring up an airconditioning unit.

Hiring someone who says he loves being inside a ceiling wiring up airconditioning units but who then turns out to be claustrophobic and colourblind with a P habit is something that might result in you going out of business and your family ending up on the street. Too risky. Safest course of action? Make do and don't hire anyone. Net impact on society: a job just evaporated.
