It's pretty simple, if you have one large UTXO with 100M sats everyone will be able to see this onchain as soon as you spend from it. If you can obtain many smaller UTXOs you can spend one of the smaller ones and leave all the other ones untouched.
It's basically like paying with a 10000$ dollar bill, much better to spend a 100$ one if you can.
