Because Unobtrusive JavaScript (UJS) is the new normal.
For me, the separation of markup from behavior is the biggest benefit, although there are other things that are handy about it, and everyone likes different aspects.
@Esailija correctly points out that jQuery makes UJS much easier, in terms of level of work, browser compatibility, browser workarounds, and so on. UJS doesn’t depend on jQuery, but JS libraries have made it viable across a wider swath of functionality.
