Because I might decide that "hmm, this page's content really doesn't change very often, so why don't I cache its results for 5 minutes"? For example, one page might contain many different 'pagelets', say a little weather box with the current weather conditions. If your weather conditions are only updated every hour, why are you dynamically generating that little pagelet every request (which can be anywhere from 2 in an hour to several thousand). You'd cache that pagelet, and set it to expire every hour.
