Why do printers always demand a fucking bleed?
I've got an Epson inkjet at home and I regularly do borderless A2 prints that look amazing just by using the 'borderless retain size' option when printing. There's never any unprinted parts or cut off details, a 1:1 print every time with no bleed or slug.

Borderless burns ink, reduces resolution around the borders, isn't always reliable, and would require the replacement of a lot of equipment that's otherwise perfectly fine.

what is so hard about including a bleed with some crop marks? Im guessing the printer is too small. Use a larger one. I have a lot of trouble understanding why this is a problem

only brainlets don't use bleeds

I get annoyed when they charge more for a bleed, because 95% of the time I want one.
To answer your question - because if you're truly going edge-to-edge, you need a bleed for the sake of printing accuracy. Especially if there's a trim involved.

The shop isn't going to "use a larger printer" just because you don't want to make a bleed. They might already have time booked on the larger press. How about doing things the right way, instead of wanting your printer to change their methods to the wrong way? ;)
