The reason is explained in [Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah 18:17](https://www.sefaria.org/Shulchan_Arukh%2C_Yoreh_De'ah.18.17?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en) (based on Tur). A brief explanation is that nowadays a *Shochet* is only allowed to serve after passing a highly rigorous examination of both knowledge and character, and can therefore be trusted to perform their own inspection.
