Why do so many pieces of furniture have sharp edges?

I was trying to get something next to a nightstand and just ended up scratching myself pretty badly on the side. I’ve done this a few times over my life from varying life stages and its never made sense to me. Why keep sharp edges? Is there some benefit or logistic issue? There are entire products dedicated to rounding off these edges. Why don’t the carpenters or manufacturers do it themselves?

I can understand if there was a bit of a point just left over but some of these seem to be designed to harm. Harsh hard right angles, portions shaped to be as rigid and pointed as possible.
