I assume this is because due to time constraints pairings dont follow the normal # of swiss rounds, and thus tiebreakers must be used? Because usually there would only be 1 undefeated player and points wouldnt matter, right?

Local tournaments don't care about pairings. Local tournaments care about two things;
1. How much does the venue cost (per day)?
2. How many people can we fit in the venue, with proper terrain for all tables? To maximise profit prize pool?

Having the correct number of rounds for the correct number of players...Isn't something local tournaments do.

But a 32 player tournament should have 5 rounds!?
Guess what, we've got the venue for one day. So you get 3 rounds.
But then we wont win on Battle Score!?
...So paint your models and don't act like a ****. That way you'll get Paint and Sports.
But I don't want to paint my models. This sucks!
Looks like you wont get Painting, then. Probably not Sportsmanship, either.
