Well, because many of us would like to later return to the scene, and 
can't recall WHERE it was, exactly.  It also makes the story of your 
once-in-a-lifetime trip more interesting if you can tell WHERE the 
picture was taken so someone else can also go there.
Not many people are organized enough to write down that information for 
every picture.
