I don't have the
time to stat up every NPC, vehicle, or power. Don't know if that qualifies as an "informed reason" or not, but my prep time is spent on crafting plot elements, researching locations, and trying to figure out how to deal with the last curve ball the players threw at me. Statting up Joe the Bartender isn't a productive use of my time IMO.
I will produce several "stat lines" -- notes to guide the mechanical elements of NPCs which are intended to be significant. HP, a combat skill or two, or their resistance to a PC's favorite attack are likely to be all I write down.
