As I understand it, cause HR don't care about most of it.
It encourages you to put a lot of things in it which are generally not interesting, much like in the old days you'd list the ability to drive a car in your CV, or having finished the mandatory military conscription.
People prefer a one pager with relevant experiences than a five pages which include your id number, birth date and address.
You can of course do a Europass CV with less info, it's just not how people do it generally, according to the people who complained about it (I'm just reporting what I heard, I don't care about the CV format)
