'Staining' vs. color in the FP

So I have a question, as I'm going to build again ( ).... A cabinet maker friend had a guitar stripped, and before the French'ing, he used a darker orange/brown stain, like some of the nicer Condes, etc., and the guitar is BEAUTIFUL! And sounds amazing, too! So why do makers put the color only in the shellac? I've sen guitars that were 'splotchy' due to the fact that it's hard to get the color-layers even, and I saw a Conder where the shellac had actually chipped off, leaving bare wood. Is it that the stain can close the pores of the wood, and not age and open up like the French process? Thanks
