Many reasons...
 -- 20+ years of history.
 -- Monitoring a forum is MUCH harder, unless you use email
    notifications, in which case, might as well START with email.
 -- SPAM prevention is easier on a mailing list
 
I could continue, but honestly, it's not worth my time..  Search the
history to find more discussions about this.
