Why do coaches do pick/ban instead of analysts?

Title.

If it's the analyst's job to create battle plans and formulate the pick/bans for teams, while the coach is implementing these things in practice and helping the team communicate/synergize...why doesn't the analyst do pick/ban? Wouldn't it be more effective for the person who is behind the strategy, and also be better at altering the strategy on the fly if needed, to be on stage?

Or, do I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the roles of these two positions?

In some ways head coaches act as analysts in their own right. They'll work alongside their staff of analysts or strategic coaches and formulate proper or developing means to success.

However, the head coach tends to have better reign over how the team can work cohesively through their strengths and weaknesses as individual players which tends to be more desirable of on stage experience than having a drafting coach or analyst calling the shots. Zefa vs Kkoma for example.
