So that you could use john@johnson.name as your email instead of john@john-johnson.name. The .name gtld was created in the height of the "we will move to a paperless world and email will become the universal way to communicate" era.
I just own lastname.com so my email is first@last.com, would recommend (I guess probably a bit harder nowadays)
Only one person with a given lastname can do that (or I suppose one person and their near family).
