Technical reasons.  The ones I can think of off the top of my head:

     1. The tools which extract strings to be translated expect those
        strings to be wrapped in _().
     2. The LOG.<level>() methods are often passed pre-formatted
        strings, i.e.:

                LOG.error(_("message here with %s") % variable)
