Because villains know that they can’t sell the parts of a stolen bike on easily when it’s tagged with some sort of security marking they’ll pass it over and steal the unmarked bike in the next street instead.

Generally if you ride hard (i.e. ride more in the lower gears) you tend to wear out the engine oil more and that affects the smoothness and engine as well. Getting it serviced at this interval will ensure longevity.
