Hyposalinity for one whole month?

I did a search of hyposalinity and understand that the method is to quarantine the fish, then drop the salinity sg to 1.009 over 2 days. Then keep it there for a month. This begs the question, if these fish have no problems living in such low salinity water as suggested by their ability to survive it for at least a month, why not always keep salinity this low in FO tanks?
