Instead of absorbing certain responsibilities (e.g. security of private keys for a bitcoin wallet), some people would rather sell these responsibilities to others - so that they can be unburdened of it, and can focus on matters that they'd prefer to invest time on.
Centralized government allows for people to do this economically (by spreading the cost among the tax-payers, for example and very generally speaking).
