    why not just make yeast expand for as long as possible

    The expanding part isn't making more dough, it's just eating starch and making carbon dioxide it's more or less a spongy balloon.

    if you walk over there with a shovel and whack it a few times it'll deflate back into the original volume.

    if you take a ball of pizza dough and let it rise and cook it, you'll get a loaf of bread.
