Because some people don't have as much upper body strength and don't think to let the car crawl a bit to ease steering effort.
I drove my car fine without the belt on the p/s pump for a few months with the p/s gear, but swapped in a higher ratio manual steering gear which I thought made it virtually seamless. However, my wife has since decided "I'm the worst" because it's hard for her to turn when completely stopped. She doesn't drive that car much, but it took her over a year to notice.
