Because if something touches it accidentally it could complete the circuit -- like you. Or something could fall across the terminal posts. Also it's a good idea to take off stuff like a wedding ring when you're messing with the battery. I also have a quick disconnect. I've probably used it a hundred times when working on the car.
Take a look at something like this:

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.
