You wouldn't, but that doesn't mean no one else would. While I don't highlight or annotate, I use the dictionary occasionally when there's some rarely used or obscure word. I read fiction mostly in English, but English is not my native language. Hence the need for dictionary.
Many people read for research or academic purposes and they certainly highlight or annotate, or both.
