Only some people (some/half/many/whatever, it doesn't really matter) read near baths, pools, and beaches. But virtually everyone reads near liquids from time to time, be it a glass of water, a cup of tea, a gin & tonic, a toddler with an open container, water falling from the sky, etc. The waterproofing comes at a marginal increase in cost - and as PP have noted, a better screen as well. I reckon it's a great deal, and not just because I'd like to read in the bath.
