This is because its common in most films. Also straight cuts help retain re-editing. They do not break the viewers suspension of disbelief.
Dissolves
This is a shot when the end of the scene fade into the next scene on the screen. The audience will be able to see both shots on the screen at the mid-point of the dissolve, place or object. An example of when this shot is used can be show connection between two characters.
Fade
This cut is a gradual darkening or lighting of an images until it becomes black or white. One shot will fade until only a black or white screen can be seen. This shot is used to indicate the end of a particular section of time within the narrative. It can also show the passing of time.
