Except that they introduce several additional connectors into the line,
each of which is a likely failure point. As someone pointed out, you can
always make the 75-50 ohm transition at a convenient half-wavelength point,
and run the rest of the way with 50-ohm coax, so the length issue really
isn't terribly awkward.
