Why does every recipe uses dry yeast? Is there something wrong with "wet" yeast?

Domestic kitchens are less likely to have fresh yeast, and if you tell people they can substitute, they might get confuse and seek another recipe.

you can use it obviously. but it's not very economical to keep fresh yeast around unless you bake bread a lot.

Have you ever bought it? I pay 3 SEK ($0.3) for a cube like the one in OP. Use it in small portions over a week.

The difference between dry and wet yeast is in how much nutrient and water the yeast is eating. Dry yeast has far fewer nutrients (FEC 101) so it can survive without making some. Although dry yeast tends to flocculate, or form flaky structures, it also tends to lose large amounts of water to the environment (FEC 136). Wet yeast is more susceptible to radiation-induced denaturation and might lose up to 90% water. In recent years, there has been a shift toward larger amounts of the oil-soluble flavonoids that provide the main nutritional advantage of dry yeast (FEC 131), which enables it to withstand long periods of dryness.

i used to make yogurt myself until i realized it's more expensive to keep the yogurt machine running than to buy the yogurt at the store.

Because dry yeast is much more readily available for most people, it's what most people will have to work with.

Dry yeast is more common and easier to portion out than fresh yeast. Nothing stopping a person from using fresh yeast in a recipe that calls for dry if they know what they're doing.

this sounds like bullshit but honestly i don't know enough about yeast to argue against it
