Because the whys need to be reflected in the design of the software.  
The domain concepts should be embedded into the software at all levels.

Because there will be changes later on and understanding the whys can  
help those changes be done well, and help folk understand the point  
where they have to go find an expert.

Because the developers feel more engaged with a product they understand.
