you leave your brake lights/tail lights on when your car is parked? have you enabled your rear fog lights? have you ever had your battery die and needed to wait for a tow truck?
they are there for the same reason you have reflectors on anything else (street signs, cones, lines on the road) so that you can see it more easily in inclement conditions. not to mention the reflectors will illuminate when your car's paint will not. so when someone comes up behind you whether you are parallel parked or the next car in front of them in rain/fog/snow, their lights will reflect off of your car much easier.
that being said, we're all grown and can make up our minds about these things. this forum is full of people with dark window tint, catless downpipes, and other mods that have to be advertised as "off-road use only" by vendors so they don't get sued. it's nothing to lose sleep over. it's a risk that most people do fine without.
it's obvious why it's there, and it's obvious why people want to remove it. next topic.
