Why is scar tissue just a garbage version of skin? what's the benefit of fixing broken skin with an inferior version of it?

It looks like shit because it heals fast.

This is like trying to perfectly weld a hole in a sinking tanker. You won't.

Can what? No species but single celled chads can recover without scars.

A horse breaks it's leg and it has to be put down because it won't be able to walk for 3 years. A human snaps their femur in half and is walking in 6th months. Sounds like a sweet deal to me

Because how it heals matter more. If the wound closes up quick and is well maintained it's gone. Kept open longer and widened and the healing is more traumatic.

No. They regrow lost parts, skin, etc.

Some organisms can regenerate tissue completely. This does not produce scarring.

Lowered chance of contracting disease whilst generally speaking not significantly lowering reproductive rates I suppose.
