Here are some reasons:

. Convention

. Readability

. Discriminating between two or more figures when more than one is visible in a 
spread

. How else would you refer to the contents of a figure other than saying 'In 
Figure x.x, the worgle-grommet is positioned next to the thingummy...'?

. Because at some point the book is going to be converted to an e-thing, and 
this requires a hyperlink because most e-readers have to throw a separate 
'page' for the figure.

. Because the client expects it.

. Because I lik emaking work for myself.

...and so on.
