To spare you from having to do it at saving time?

I often use C-x s to save all buffers, I would find it
more convenient to be asked for the creation of the dir
when finding the file.

Also right now, when finding a file in a non-existing
dir, the user is taught how to create the directory...
which seems a bit redundant with the fact that he will
be asked to create the dir anyway.

Probably not a big deal, though.
