Also, text may skip some things that the visualization will have to show explicitly.
If I'm unsure which screw they really mean here, which orientation I should have that piece in etc., I can just look really closely at the drawing and identify exactly what they mean. See the different layers of depth and how they cover each other to see the exact order of things. See the the exact drill holes or other marks to disambiguate things.
Maybe it's just that some people think more in words others more in images and prefer instructions of the corresponding type.
