Why am I thinking that one would not want a pass through and instead want a mushrooming?

Not sure why you are thinking this, but these are not mutually exclusive. There are a ton of great bullet offerings of these days, the key is to match the correct bullet to the correct application. Most Whitetail hunters want as much expansion as they can get while still getting pass-throughs for better blood trails, but not so much expansion that they risk the bullet completely breaking apart if it hits a bone. The good news is, Whitetail are pretty easy to kill, so there is a lot of room for error here, and many bullets that will get the job done.
