Basic physics.
Chipboard is more durable and less easily damaged than laminated cardstock. Pages will stay together longer and will take more strain when they're sewn together with binding thread rather than simply being glued together.
Hardcover books have historically been printed on better (acid-free) paper and bound using more robust binding techniques than mass-market paperbacks. Trade paperbacks were a sort of middle ground, using similar binding technology as mass-market paperbacks but similar paper (and distribution methods) as the hardcover books.
Nowadays most hardcover books use cheaper binding methods, and most books are written on higher grade paper, so the differences between the formats are less than they used to, but old habits die hard. And hardcovers can use some robust binding techniques that make possible thicker books than is possible or feasible for paperbacks. That's partly why some of DC's Golden Age anthologies are in one volume for hardcovers and two for paperbacks.
Hardcovers don't bend as easily, so the covers act as protection for the pages in the book. Far less chance of pages getting bent/creased/torn if you're taking the book in and out of a bag for example.

Because English isn’t everyone’s first language, most likely.
[QUOTE=Dick Grayson;4354080]Because English isn’t everyone’s first language, most likely.[/QUOTE]Sometimes that's true, but I also wonder if sometimes it might be bad/lazy grammar by people who normally speak English.
