(Mostly kidding though, nobody in their right mind drives in Boston)
because they are scum buckets. i shopped there from 2004 to 2019. spent tens of thousands. but after they got bought out by some chinese company they went to s**t. bogus restocking fees. shipping broken returns instead of new items then blaming the buyers for breaking them. denying returns for made up reasons. allows scammers to sell on their platform and not helping customers when something goes wrong with 3rd party sellers. i can go on all day
on two occasions i bought brand new motherboards and got someone's broken returns. one of them had nearly all the pins destroyed. looked like someone whacked the cpu socket with a hammer. and they tried to blame it on me and reject the return. that was back in 2019. i filed a chargeback and never shopped there again

One thing I learned, though, is make sure that the mobo can handle your RAM needs. Check the manufacturers website for each board to find the QVL list and make sure your RAM is listed there by speed and number of sticks it will work with and whether XMP (if Intel) will work.
Otherwise, there's a lot more technical specs that are important that Ive not run into needing to know about.
F micro center for not doing any of these deals with online shipping.
The Gigabyte has 4 M.2 gen 4 slots while the Asus has 3 gen 4 and 1 gen 3 slots.
The Asus has Wi-Fi 6E and the Gigabyte has Wi-Fi 6
The reviews on Newegg seem to be better for the Asus.
