I wonder why those parts are not made in the desired shape already with no need to cut or sand in place.

I assume it's because kitchens and bathrooms aren't made in standardized sizes to fit standardized counters.
No perfect walls (also changes w/ temperature/humidity), drilling holes, misalignment, imperfect measurements...
Since it's a luxury but not a super expensive product, the more expensive process of precise measurement, off-site waterjet/laser cutting is not suitable.
