Because it properly sets everything up for the user and does hash checking to verify image is good and if a game is 4GB+ it will properly split it for the user

you can do it manually, if you know what you are doing, and know the gameID.
or else, you'll have to "look on another website" to get the proper gameID for the game you copy using your computer.
doing it manually, you risk to:
not naming the file correctly, use a wrong GameID
not putting the file in the correct folder
not having a split 4GB+ file (how would you split it on FAT32?)
not having a wbfs (what if you have .iso file ? you'll just waste your HDD free space if you don't convert to split wbfs format)
having write protected attribute on FAT32 enabled without knowing it
All which will result in either black screen at launch, or the console reboot to menu.
And like said Shadow, WBM can also verify your ISO or wbfs file is good, proper dump.
Apps are used to automate all the steps properly, that's all.
you are free to :
- use any tools (there are other than WiiBackupManager, especially if you are not on windows, such as Wiijmanager, or WiiBaFu, or Wit/WWT)
- don't use tools at all
ONLY USE HDD !!!! or else, don't come asking why it's not working!
apparently you prefer doing things YOUR way, instead of following direction, but then don't complain

Oh, and I hope by "usb drive" you mean an external USB HardDiskDrive, and not a usb flash drive.

If you still have black screen with some games (and you are sure it's not bad dump/name/folder/attribute), try editing the loader's settings to change the IOS slot.
usually, guides let you install 2 different cIOS with different "IOS base".
in slot249 and slot250, you should have two different "base" : 56 and 57.
some games work with 56, some with 57.
go to loader settings > select the non working game > go to game settings (it will affect only that game, not others) > IOS slot : try the other slot number, either 249 or 250.

maybe the game is not good?
you can use Wii Backup Manager to verify if a game is proper or bad.
in the "drive1" tab, select the partition letter of the HDD where you have your games.
Do NOT select the games in the "file" tab.
WBM will detect all your installed games.
check the checkbox in front of the game you want to test, and search the "sha1" option.
at the end, look at the log. if they are green the games are good. red they are bad.
if they are green but still not working, I'm not sure what's wrong sorry.
but at least you'll know that the games are not the problem, and you can continue to look at other possibilities.
