I never understood that one either, water resistance is of much more use in other situations. Like on the table outside your backyard, where somebody just knocked over that glass of water/soda/beer/wine/other fluid. Or that camping table where it suddenly started to pour and you're rushing to get everything under cover. Or as you already said, that downpour which soaks your bag/jacket through.
And swimming pools! While at the beach, the chairs are generally further away from the water, at swimming pools, they're often right next to it. With a waterproof/water resistant reader you don't need to take care nobody splashes your reader by accident.
