Because your track is being delay compensated by the amount the DA and AD takes time, so if you just magically re-route your mixer to connect your hardware insert send point to return point it will be out or sync, or it will stop playback for a brief moment due to having to rebuild the mixer. Neither outcomes are acceptable. The only way to bypass hardware insert is to do it on hardware side. Either pressing the bypass button on the box or having a short wire available for disconnecting the hardware box and replacing it with a wire that does nothing.
