When setting up a long-term retirement savings account, why do investment advisors emphasize low-expense index trackers over premium mutual funds?

An index fund passively copies a market benchmark (like the S&P 500) via automation, yielding minimal fee percentages. Actively managed funds employ managers to pick individual stocks, charging high fees that rarely beat the market.
