On a foul, the official should have the "entire play".
On an OOB call, the official might only have part of the play -- that is the ball can come from one area and go out on another.
So -- why not ask for help all the time? Because 99% (SWAG) of the time seeing just part of the play is sufficient. So, make the call and then have the partner provide help.
Yes, there are other ways to do it. But, by tradition, this way has been decreed to be "best" for the game.
