For the employer, it can be disastrous, and they need to be able to let someone go if it just has not worked out. Employing someone is expensive, so most employers try very hard to make it work—no one wants to fire someone on a whim. Having to give a reason or being restricted to reasons such as capability or conduct, as we heard before, simply makes it more likely that the employer will find themselves in front of a tribunal or will have to pay the person off to avoid that, even if the claim is completely vexatious.
