A REASON WHY I DON'T USE SHEETS
First and foremost, the reason is that I prefer (insist) on making my own music the way I want it.
Secondly, there is the fear of ending up in a locked-in expression pattern, which hinders my intuitive expressions, which is really the very core of all music - yourself and YOUR expression.
I have seen many good musicians become limited to shadows of themselves because they were too busy following the sheets - my own father is one of them.
He remarried a music teacher, and they taught students for 30 years, while he lost his innate talent for arranging other people's music; previously he did this on the fly without using sheets, and this was his real talent.
In his earlier years, he and his trio played only according to sheets, but discovered that a large part of the profit disappeared in TONO fees to the music industry.
They therefore started to make their own arrangements early on, so that they got all the profits.
When I started to launch my own music, I quickly found out that copyright is something that effectively stops any performer:
Styles (also my own arrangements) where I have added other people's vocals cannot be published without permission from the vocalist and lyricist, and I am fairly certain that many vocalists would have been furious at my freedom to use their vocals.
Therefore, these will never be published, unfortunately.
My performances can often be based on well-known melodies, but are always my own arrangements, and thus I avoid all problems with copyright.
So if you play well-known melodies and follow their sheets, you will meet a wall of copyright - that is why I never use sheets.

I think I've lost any left hand I might have had by just playing chords for such a long time, or something. It really doesn't like to work LOL
