Because you can't do the following things without doing something other than "the whiteboard":

1) You can't share it

2) You can't back it up

3) You can't search it

And that's just for starters.

Shall I go on?

The number of photos of whiteboards I've taken over the years beg to differ. Point 3 is certainly valid. Whiteboards definitely don't work for remote teams.
