It can't just be a contain against a player who is macroing correctly or knows how to react. You have to do serious economic damage or you'll be far behind the other player in economy, possibly tech as well. You can't drone while he's contained because he'll break the contain and come kill you, so you have to spend most of your resources resupplying your roach army. It's a losing battle because you'll be at 15 drones to however many probes or SCVs, which don't interfere as much with Protoss or Terran's abiltiy to make units. Every second past a certain point in the game that the zerg is still on one base, he's getting further and further behind.
The game works out differently when you're in bronze, silver, and even gold, so it's not as all-in there. There's no guarantee that the other guy is going to be making probes or units at all.
