Why would an addict use heroin over fentanyl if they both produce the same euphoric effects but fentanyl is cheaper / stronger?

I almost always hear about fentanyl in the context of "...the heroin was cut with with fentanyl". I read that statement like "...the heroin was cut with ultra-pure-super-heroin". Why wouldn't the addict cut out the "middle-man" and just use fentanyl? Legitimately trying to understand.
