The main reason is safety; in many parts of the world, an automatic emergency call in case of an accident is mandatory. For this to be possible, the car needs to be connected. I know Russia, China, Japan, and the EU have these rules. I think it was mandatory in parts of the US as well, but I'm not sure.
