Why use kudasai on strangers, if onegaishimasu is more polite?

Is it that people use kudasai for demands, and then onegaishimasu for favors? I noticed instructions also are said with kudasai and not onegaishimasu.

If there is no difference between request and demand, why not just always use onegaishimasu?
