Why would stageful servers limit load balancing options?

What session state should servers store here?

@yeezus98, stateful servers means that the state needs to persist throughout a client's session. This means that only the servers which have information about the state relating to the request will be able to service it. As the overhead of storing state across all the servers is too high, you can imagine that only one or two of them will have it. That's how it limits load balancing options

@LazyKiller, you can imagine perhaps having to store a bunch of information and variables for a user who is going through an e-commerce platform, which isn't necessarily information that should the programmer wants to commit to a database yet because it's not complete
