For security reasons. I can build it myself, without relying on third-party software, import my active key, and sign transactions with it. It's by far more secure than wallet on a website.
Of course such website wallet should sign your transaction client side unless...
you connected to wrong website because of typo + name squatting
you connected to wrong website because of phishing
you connected to wrong website because of dns hijacking
you connected to wrong website because of man-in-the-middle
you connected to right website but author was incompetent
you connected to right website but author was malicious
you connected to right website but author was hacked
you connected to right website but server was hacked
Thank you :-)

Great, thank you for the explanation. Makes sense. So if someone is investing huge, then they will need cli_wallet.
