Caster spell slots are limited and many of those limited slots have to be devoted to combat. That leaves an extremely limited number for utility which are fairly specific in their use, while problems vary considerably.  Yes if the caster gets lucky and encounters a problem that one of their very limited slots will handle, it will usually be handled easily and without a roll, but the odds are good that the wizard doesn't have a spell to handle that problem.  Further, every slot used to handle a utility problem is one less that the wizard gets to use in combat, so he's gimping himself there.  If that 5th level wizard solves just 4 problems in an adventuring day, he's burned nearly half of his combat ability out.</blockquote>
