The same reason you look at any logs - spot suspicious activity, trends,
problems, etc. If I have them emailed to me, I can keep copies, print
them, use them as evidence of disallowed user activity, if need be, etc.
Why SSH in, and use an editor/pager, when they will come to you? Why
WOULDN'T you want them emailed to you? :-)
