Why should the metal sulphides and carbonates be converted to metal oxides in the process of extraction of metal from them?

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 10

Metal sulphides and carbonates are converted to metal oxides in the process of extraction of metal from them because it is easier to obtain metal from its oxide than from its sulphides or carbonates.
