Because it is difficult to make a good batch and is so much easier to buy a tube and use it from the fridge or freezer.

Is dough pastry made with margarine or butter?
Pastries are typically made with butter because it makes them quite flaky and they brown well. ALso, since the other ingredients in most types of pastry are just flour and salt (and maybe yeast), butter has a lot to do with the flavour. Margarine based pastry will taste different and may not be quite as flaky. Good quality bakeries probably only use butter, while a lot of commercial products are made with margarine or other fats/oils. Read the lable to find out.
How is pastry made from margarine different from pastry made from butter?
Produces a less 'short' and less flaky result as the fat content is lower. May also rise / have less air separation between the layers (for example in puff pastry) due to the difference in the amount of water that is present and available for evaporation. The pasty may feel denser in texture and more solid in the mouth than pastry made with butter.

Whats the difference between flaky and puff pastry?
Puff pastry involves layering butter into a shortcrust pastry, then completing a process of folding and rolling and folding again, in order to obtain many thin layers of butter spread within thin layers of pastry. When the pastry cooks, the fat in the butter keeps the layers separate, while the water content expands into steam and forces the layer apart. In a rough puff pastry, chunks of butter in mixed onto the pastry as it is made, and the pastry mix needs only be rolled once. with the lumps of butter within the pastry, the same effect happens, but over a small localised areas. The effect is the same, but the rough puff doesn't rise quite as much, and finishes with a rough texture. It is, of course, much quicker to make. Use it when the pastry will not be on show, such as for the base of tarts and the like.
What does the term short mean in shortcrust pastry?
the pastry has as much flour inside it asa it does butter. e.g. if you had 20g of flour you would also have to put 20g of butter into the mixture to form the pastry.
Why does cold fat create more layers in dough than warm fat?
If you experiment with making pastry, you will find that cold fat makes the flakiest pastry. The reason can be found in the oven.Flaky pastry is made of many fine layers. In the oven, it is fat that separates the layers in the dough. As the water in the dough turns to steam and expands, it pushes these layers of dough apart, forming the characteristic blisters or flakes of good flaky pastry. The greater the number of layers, the flakier the final pastry will be.
