Because they want some control over the structure of what they write?
Should an author write an endless list of sentences without any
structure, and have someone else make it presentable?
As I understand it (but I know very little about Latex), in Latex you
specifiy logical structural elements, but not how they should actually
look. The latter is handled in style sheets.
