In addition the tanner will see the skin for the last time when it leaves the tannery, w/o any clue as to how it stands up over a period of time in different conditions...
Would you take your shoe to the tanner because he tanned the skin for you?
Yes, but shoemakers see how a skin reacts to flexing and wearing over time. A tanner might not know how to treat something over time. Same way people ask mechanics for advise on what cars to buy, not asking car dealers.
