Because it takes too long to get any response here. Meetings force group to develop an agenda and therefore shape and focus the conversation. (Plus people can avoid if they do not want to answer an email simply by saying that they have not checked email :) If they are present at the meeting it is a bit harder to ignore. And everyone knows what everyone is doing ... and their progress)
I am not sure why this would be such a problem? Every reasonably good open source project that I know has some sort of meetings (some years ago I really enjoyed reading blender development meeting minutes ... because it was clear from them that those people have some specific goals and are trying to achieve them) Of course I can also be totally ignored in this ... I am also not in position to force anyone. I just do not see a reason to oppose the idea.
