Very simply put its math. The greater the number the more precise the average. Every breeding process entails a chance of mutation. Hybridization further increases that likelihood of random mutations.

For instance cross a horse with a donkey you get a mule. Some mules are more donkey others have more horse features. Mules are hybrids.

But a cross breeding implies that the resulting population can itself replicate. But a large number of cross breedings are required to get a consistent representation of that specific target species.

Its all due to the inherent randomness of all genetic processes. The larger numbers of crosses increase the predictability of the average result.

That help?
