Why only one unit in some pro matches?

Hello!

I'm a noob, started playing a couple of months ago and I really enjoy watching top players in action. I've noticed one thing that I do not really understand however. In many games, players choose to make only one unit type. Why don't take make offensive units and use trash for better exchanges when protecting their base?

Here is a game: https://youtu.be/e6jAjZKDQgk In this game, Viper makes exclusively mangudai. He plays against the Franks who try to flood him with paladins. Wouldn't it be significantly cheaper to use spears. Why not mix in some monks too? Do techs create dependencies that bind you to one unit? Surely, even elite skirms upgrade + blacksmith would pay off vs the gold cost of Mangudai?

Sorry if I didn't notice something obvious. I tried googling this but to no avail.
