After looking at some related cards, I can provide a little more perspective 
here. It's enormously valuable to be able to see the story points of a task on 
the task itself (in a workboard view) as it:

  # gives you a sense of how many story points are locked up in a given area of 
the workflow [eg we have 27 story points worth of stuff stuck in 'needs 
review'!]
  # makes it possible to quickly determine which task someone might want to 
pick up, depending on their existing bandwidth (eg it's Friday afternoon, I 
know I can get a 2 point task done today but not an 8 point task)

Further, not all teams that use story points necessarily care about burndown 
charts. Mobile web is a good example (at least it was when I was working with 
the team) since they have a very fluid backlog (they don't try to fix the scope 
of it) and don't have strict deadlines.
