Because the traffic isn't known to you but it is to Google. I could take two routes, one is faster depending on circumstances, and Google knows those circumstances.

Is it really faster though?
All you have now is two routes with a roughly equal amount of traffic on.
One of those routes will be a massive detour.
Unfortunately, accidents are quasi commonplace among my commute.
How do you know those routes have a roughly equal amounts of traffic? Or that there’s only two routes? I usually see at least three possible routes with my commute (with some forking), and at least one shortcut. During heavy traffic one optimized route can at least save 10-15 minutes than the slower one(s).
It's really unlikely that you're saving any time at all.
