Seller/ buyer interest Net debt

Why is it in the buyers interest to have high Net Debt at entry/ sellers interest to have low net debt? Why is that impacting the money to be paid by the buyer, which is EV anyways? Thank you!

Buyer: Less cash -> Higher MOIC -> Higher IRR

Seller: More cash -> more guarantees

Lender: More cash -> Lower chance to default
