Two-words: Game balance.

The trade off for you not having to sit in front of your computer while you craft stacks of items is that some of those results will fail and you have an incredibly low HQ rate. If you want to guarantee success then use careful synthesis, since the speed is about the same. Its either set it and forget it, or 100% success, not both.
