Sourcing model of growth equity vs traditional model

It seems like a disproportionately high % of growth equity shops have their analysts / associates sourcing. Why isn't this model generally replicated in other areas of finance (IB, buyout PE, real estate, etc)? Curious as to people's thoughts on this model vs the "traditional" model of sourcing delegated mostly to more senior employees.
