It's also a strategy thing. 'Manufacturing a run' is considered passé. And they're right; Slugging beats small-ball in general.
But most of the time if they are in an extreme shift and giving you a free bunt single, you would benefit from a good bunt.

Slugging beats small ball in the regular season.
Manufacturing runs beats relying on the HR in the post season. Always has, and always will. Games often played in cooler weather and HR hitters often worn out by October swinging from their heels for over 500 at bats. Speed and defense don't slump, but power does.
