Usually because a 'line' input is not sensitive enough for many
microphones. Originally 'line' implied 1mw, nominally 775mV into 600
Ohms. Whilst that definition may have wavered it still holds true that
the line input on many sound cards is of low sensitivity.
I do know someone, who uses a condenser(capacitor) microphone, who
upped the polarising voltage to achieve a greater output.
