I'd say that for the composer, it gives them a way to satisfy their creative urges and take pride in creating a new piece of work, while for the audience it keeps music fresh and alive by giving them new music to discover and listen to, rather than just hearing yet more recordings and versions of what's already been done.

Just off the top of me head, like. :-)
