As others have said, it helps quickly orientate yourself before you start typing. It's hard to explain rationally but having that makes me much more productive.
I've been practicing by my work (as a programmer) and actively learning it aside -- typing without looking, and I am damn good at it.
There are however different use cases. Sometimes I have long reading sessions. Suddenly I decide the story is too big and want to stop reading it. Or I try to find a keyword in it. Or a hundred more things.
If I am to use programming terms, it reduces your bootstrap time when you want to use the keyboard after a period of inactivity.
...That, plus the fact that most are gorgeous and simply very nice to look at. There are definitely aesthetical factors as well, won't deny the facts. So it's 50% subjective, no doubt.
