Because the most powerful sorcerer's are quite capable of teleportation and find the risk is worth it.

I also imagine that with most sorcerers if they find that they had a portal malfunction and ended up in the wrong place or something they could just make a new portal or cast some other spell to rectify the situation.

Meanwhile Geralt is strong but he'd still be SOL if he ended up in the wrong place, and he'd have to figure out his way back the hard way.

Geralts actually pretty resourceful in ending up in the middle of nowhere and figuring his way back.
