Many pitch some sulfite to stun the wild yeast. You wait 24 hours before adding the commercial yeast as not to stun it though commercial yeasts are more resistant to sulfite.
Plus as mentioned you give pectic enzyme the opportunity to break down the cell structure thus releasing the sugar.
Pectic enzyme does not work in an active fermentation.
