The main problem with cascading is that if you take two buterworth filters in cascade, the result is no longer butterworth. The bode plot shows the frequency response of the filter to be nearly flat for low frequencies and all of the input signal is passed directly to the output, resulting in a gain of nearly 1, called unity, until it reaches its cutoff frequency point.
