So that we don't die while we try to debug that sessions data. Really, human readable session data is much easier to handle for all that people that will be using the session functions and need to have a look if their page really saved that data they exspected it to save. In fact I think that a binary option may be desireable, but only as an addon and not as a default. It will certainly save you and others a lot of support (or you include a function that can dump any sessions state given a session storage location/session id).
