Why do people think they need to rake them up instead of just mowing them back into the soil?

I recently saw a guy raking his yard(about 2 acres) and bagging leaves and pine needles then setting them at the roadside for the garbage truck to pick up. I stopped and asked him if I could take them and he said yes so now he stacks them next to an old driveway in his yard and I stop by once a week to pick up the bags.

I have plenty of leaves from the property already but since these are bagged I'll save them in an old barn for later use. I'm at 12 bags in two weeks and there's more to come.

I was even nice enough to offer him tomatoes and cucumbers this growing season and he was elated.
