You’re describing QC. The reason that’s not sufficient is because your test user might not meet the conditions that trigger a bug. Trivial example: a bug that only shows up for users using RTL languages. A test suite allows you to test edge cases like that. Another shortfall of QC is that it doesn’t provide future assurance. A test suite makes sure the feature keeps working in the future when changes that interact with it are introduced.
