Because Krav Maga has to provide solutions to striking and grappling when standing, seated and on the ground, and against weapons (short barrel guns, knives, sticks, long barrel guns etc.), and against single and multiple attackers, if there was a unique solution/technique to deal with each potential threat and attack, it would take a lifetime of training just to see each technique, let alone have the time to practice them to a level where they can be remembered and relied upon in a real-life confrontation.

To deal with these issues, Krav Maga uses a few core movements to power its various techniques and movements. Techniques are grouped into “families”, where there are common movements, and taught alongside each other. This cuts down what needs to be learned, increases training time, and means there is less to remember and recall when attacked.
