The main reason is absolute and easy security. It is really simple to give my (not too computer savvy) family a USB key to plug into their iPhone when needed to access things like medical records. It would also be nice if they could, in a controlled manner, update the information on the USB key if they need to (like record that they went to a doctor's appointment and what the results were). Everything would be neatly stored on the USB key with no chance for a hacker to get to. I could make daily encrypted backups of the USB key at home as well for safety.
