Lateral flow tests - why not when symptomatic?

My daughter has had a temp today which nursery mentioned when I picked her up.

I have some lateral flow tests at home so used one on her. Then reading I seen that they shouldn’t be used when symptomatic, so I booked her a ‘proper’ one and waiting on the results.

Has me wondering though - why can’t they be used when you are symptomatic?

We got her result this morning, which was negative :)
