Why are floating ball valves and lift stem ball valves the most commonly used in hydrogenation units, and why aren’t fixed ball valves used?

Fixed ball valves have many advantages; then why are floating ball valves and lift stem ball valves the most commonly used in hydrogenation units, and why aren’t fixed ball valves adopted?
Hydrogenation units often operate under high-temperature conditions, and fixed ball valves are not suitable for such environments; due to thermal expansion, the ball and the valve seat tend to get stuck at high temperatures.
Thank you for the answer, big bro; I’ve learned something.
