Nesting is the economic argument
Empty pallets go back as 4,690 per jumbo trailer and 3,690 per 40 ft high-cube container. That is the number to weigh against a wooden display pallet: return freight on empties is most of the running cost of a display programme, and nesting is what collapses it.
Goods can also stay on the pallet from packing to shop floor, so there is no unloading and no shelf-stacking at the far end.
