Because if we put the IS in the camera, then we do not need to bother whether the lens has IS or not. Cost wise, it should be cheaper to put IS in 1 place (camera) rather than a number of lenses.


The lens stabilization might work better in super telephoto lens compared to in-camera, but for this very specific use case, then we can have the IS on the lens as well, but the point is for general purpose, the in-camera IS should be enough.
