I believe the answer is ' for conservation of surface area'
How many bones are thre that only have 1 or two muscles attached to it? Practically none. Now imagine if the majority of muscle attachments were direct attachement, which require a large amount of surface area since the width of the muscle itself is attaching to the bone. There wouldn't be enough room for all those muscles.
So the body improvises with tendons. Even these are really compacted in there and require 'bursa' (sacs of liquid) squeezed in between the muscles and between the muscles and bones and ligaments to prevent friction since it is such a tight squeeze.

Depends on the units of the attachments of the units or the migromes of the disattachments of the solid of the frame of trons to the cekls.

In "direct" attachment the epimysium is fused directly to the periosteum.
In "Indirect" attachments there are tendons.
