Is there a reason to not always use HDR?

I have a 6S+ and from what I understand, HDR will combine multiple exposures into one good one. Is there a reason why it is a bad idea to always keep this turned on?

Thanks.

Space, preference, sometimes stylistically HDR produces ultra sharp, contrasted photos that look heavily edited and enhanced, might not create the look you want.

I use auto HDR, with keep normal photos option turned off

Don't think that's how it is implemented. It's basically tone mapping a single image I believe rather than taking 3 shots and combining them.
Also HDR is slower in lower light situation cause it defaults to a slower shutter speed.

I use auto HDR and keep normals. This way I can choose which I like the look of best.

Thats exactly what the HDR does. At least according to the source.

HDR is typically better for landscape (not orientation but actual landscapes) photos.
