Why don't more people just copytrade?

I'm a new trader in the investing space, but I was just wondering why people don't copytrade more. I've heard success copytrading and a few of my friends started it and have seen results. I even started copytrading myself, but I never see it being a major topic of discussion in any investing space. There's even platforms like DubApp and eToro and that literally allow you to copy hedge fund managers and politicians with near zero lag time, so I'm curious what's the catch?
