Why is there a common assumption that additional prep is needed?

My kids never prepped for anything, including SAT’s. The one who did not do well applied to test-optional schools. The other two did fine but I don’t think scores were relevant to admissions decisions (scores made them eligible, other stuff they did was more important though). For state schools, scores are more important, and sometimes scholarships are tied to testing results.
