[Reconciller] Why do I need to get the object in the cluster?

[rodrigovb96]

Hi, I'm having some trouble to understand the role/logic a Reconciler.
My question is why the Reconcile only receives the name & namespace of the resource instead of the object.

Is it to prevent race conditions? or to follow the idea that the Reconciler should always look at the current state of the cluster when receiving a reconcile request?

In the same context how can access the underlying informer within the Reconciler context?
