Presumably for the same reason the U.S. has a "Classifications and Ratings Administration", which is "to provide parents information concerning the content of those motion pictures, to aid them in determining the suitability of individual motion pictures for viewing by their children."
Although books aren't rated in the UK, there seems to be no particular contradiction between a desire to classify films and books.
