Continuity is definitely the biggest part of it, IMO, because of how important communication is. OL relies on combination blocks, switching assignments based on where defenders are lined up, and what your RBs are doing in pass protection, among other things. That’s one of the biggest reasons why you don’t see OL swapping in and out like DL do. OL are generally using less energy, too. DL are essentially in a full speed sprint on every play at some point.

Also, defensive players are often in pursuit of the ball carrier. OL seldom do much past their point of attack. Pursuit every play, especially vs an effective side to side offense.
There are reasons the jet sweep and Wr screens are ran multiple times even when they don't seem particularly effective.
