For small changes, I see your point.
Larger patches tend to be less than readable, or even unavailable[1],
while change logs give a consistent, human-readable description of
what was wrong (and thus changed) and what's new.
[1] This seems to be the case with Lilypond -- no patch available
since 0.1.48. Of course I could make the patches myself, given enough
disk space, but then again...
