It would also be incredibly boring. Picks are part of the skillset of a team, and the assymetry is great for the game.

Because picks are so critical for this game is the answer to this question.

Banning and picking are part of the game that separates great teams from good teams.

Because the picks are a game in itself. Having a good captain is crucial for teams (see how sinderen made a mid-tier team like WW into an european powerhouse, MTW).

It's the same idea behind why you don't play mirror match ups in every SC 2 match.
