What is the purpose of preparation phases, precompetition phases, competition phases, etc. I say just put in the quantity AND the quality, then lower the volume a couple weeks before the race.

Good for you.
People DO just put in the quantity and quality during those phases. But, it's a specific type of "quality" that they put in at different phases.
The only phase that lacks quality, or has significantly less quality, is during base phase, where the aerobic running is of most importance.

"The more I talk to athletes, the more convinced I become that the method of training is relatively unimportant. There are many ways to the top, and the training method you choose is just the one that suits you best. No, the important thing is the attitude of the athlete, the desire to get to the top."Herb Elliot (1964)
