Say the computer writing the log was destroyed, you were able to recover the storage, but the only computer available did not have journalctl.
Or if you're writing to network storage and would like to analyze the logs from your haiku box.
Text is not perfect, but it's the one thing that is always available.
Also I'm not sure about the journalctl format, but in general binary formats don't handle partial corruption well. Which is something kind of important for logs.
