For me the main reason is
* not to mix data with libraries (i.e. mysql databases in /var/lib/mysql/DB_NAME).
* idem for logs (/var/log)
* idem for websites (/var/www).

Data should be easyly upgradable, so it sould be in a separate path so 
that it could have its own partition, preserving it in upgrades.
Libraries should be updated with the rest of the system.

Now doing this is almost impossible.
