Because they're very compact?

I've never wanted to write one either, but somebody obviously does
because there's a library, called gribw, under development to support
write (and read) access:

http://wesley.wwb.noaa.gov/gribw.html

It includes a command-line utility of the same name. The WWW page shows
an example where a GRIB file is converted to text via 2 calls to wgrib,
then piped to gribw which recreates the original file. Wow!
