Think about simple example of two variables. You simulate a random point on a square first and then you project that point on the main diagonal. Clearly, there will be significantly more 'weight' in the middle than on the tails. That would be appropriate in certain situations but not appropriate in some other ones, for example, if your want to generate a random allocation that is uniformly distributed on the space of feasible allocations.
