Because the Tech Notes look prettier than just plain text.

Every wordprocessor for the mac has the MacWrite format as one of its
importing formats.  Besides, even if you haven't bought an application
that will read MacWrite, there exist both a de-macwrite-ify utility
and a few shareware/PD things that will read in the MacWrite format and
maybe even print it out in the MacWritely "beautiful" form.
