It's not that you need them all, it's that you don't know which ones you need. It's really nice to have all the journals you read with you, so that when a reference to, say, the Jan 10 1997 issue comes up you can read it. Or when some other book references The Son Also Rises you can pull it up and read it, even if you're out of Internet range.
Storage is super cheap these days, to the point where we can carry lots of information with us without being at the whim of third party cloud providers. Using it isn't weird; jumping through a ton of hoops because you can't put a $10 SD card in your device is weird.
