Lack of faith in the alternatives?
I'm guessing it's easy to see the need to rotate but maybe more difficult to implement when it actually comes to it - always tempting to keep the big guns in for just one more week if the wins/performances aren't those expected. Equally might be tempting to keep the big guns on the field during games despite their being alternatives on the bench.
Only conjecture mind.
