why is it unnecessary in other sales industries?

Other industries have cold callers, call centers, lead lists. They may or may not call them SDRs/BDRs, but they certainly exist.

Because it's such a big sell, 100's of thousands of dollars, and it's a complex product to explain, to have a dedicated person only generating meetings makes sense because you can never have enough qualified meetings

You've asked a number of questions about being an SDR and training, etc. It would be good to have a little context for these questions so that we can better help you.

Are you currently an SDR, or are you trying to learn how to become one?

Which is admirable, but sometimes you will get more comprehensive answers if people know why you are asking.

Are you looking for a way to break into sales?
Are you currently employed, but need some help?
Are you trying to understand different industries?

You could get different, and better, answers depending on your end goal, which is why I asked.
