It's just that it's very hard already to draw profitably in NL against a tough lineup. Hell, you could go your whole life and never try to do it except on a semi-bluff and be a winner.

On the contrary, it's very easy to raise in position preflop and then get a free card on the flop, giving you infinite pot odds on your draw.

Any time you take a free card and then a draw hits, observant opponents will notice. You may have infinite pot odds, but your implied odds are shot to hell. This may be the best play in certain circumstances, but usually the semi-bluff is better.
