Because I have to travel for some shoots at the expense of the studio that books them. The travel expenses can be more than a couple thousand dollars.

If my one digital body malfunctions, I'm screwed.
For a pro photographer, that must indeed be useful not to have all the film
to lug about!
I am by no means a pro photographer, just an amateur who tries to support his hobby with an occasional job. But even if you do just a dozen shoots a year or so, you can't really afford to mess them up. I feel that if I tell someone I can do the job for the, I should make sure I have adequate equipment.
