Why is it perfect? Given a choice, most of us would rather use wheels than a flat lap. I suppose it might do a good job cutting and polishing spam.

What others have found is that while it works great for glass, it doesn't have the oomph or design build to work with harder rocks for long periods of time.

... and there have been motor problems, the plastic side clips crack easily, the 6.5" blade can only be bought frm Inland, the drain hole gets plugged easily .....
grinder is not too bad, but stand alone grinders are cheap enough and sturdier

i also use the wheels rather then a flat lap. I think you have more control.

There are quite a few cabbers here who do use a flat lap - just not the swap top. Everyone that's tried the swap top here (Deb193 is one, Weeshan is another, and I think there were a couple others still) has had nothing good to say about it.
The All-U-Need or the Slant Cabber do have good reviews. They don't come with a band saw and such, but as a cabber they work quite well.
