High lifter 850 not for trail riding?

I have seen where some people say the 850 high lifter isn’t for trail riding. Please tell me why. I plan to buy one because I want the protection from water for the times I do get into mud and water.
I don’t seem to get what is wrong with using it for the trails between the water holes and mud pits
I have never had an atv with ps so I don’t think I will miss that part at all.
Just thinking it is a factory lifted, snorkeled wheeler,with great tires,and with the radiator relocated, seems like a slam dunk
What am I missing?
