Speaking from ignorance here.

One advantage of the "resubscribe for every event" pattern is that if the events are generated in one process -- an animation process is the example used here -- and a message is sent to the observer in another process, and the observer is slow, the natural outcome will be to drop frames instead of queue up a lot of messages pertaining to events that no longer need to be processed.
