Why Do Rugby Teams Kick for Territory Instead of Keeping Possession?

I’m still learning rugby tactics and often see a team kick the ball downfield even when it seems to have a chance to keep possession. From the stands, that can look like giving the ball away for no reason.

What are teams weighing up when they choose a kick for territory? I’m curious how field position, pressure on the opposing side, and the chance of winning the ball back affect that decision, especially when a match is close.
