Why would a bakery use nitrous oxide for whipped cream instead of the old fashioned way, actual whipping?

Using nitrous to make the whipped cream is instantaneous and doesn't wear your arms out.

Most coffee shops use these as well to make whipped cream for drinks.

Wearing your arms out wouldn't be a problem in a bakery that's properly equipped, there are machines for that.

I can definitely see the use case in a coffee shop though.

Every Starbucks in the world uses them.
