Why would anyone want weighted action on a synthesiser?

So it feels more similar to a real piano.

Kawai just got started a new generation of digitals that are supposed to be very realistic.  I played two generations before, and they were good, although still felt  like a digi.

Yahama GrandTouch series has a "real" action inside, but the ones I have seen available are priced absurdly high.
