Becuase the toe is not treated? And it has open pores down the bottom. I know chipping is one of the reasons people put toes on, but I thought warping of the toe was also a reason. I don't know when you have played or play cricket, but when I was a youngster we played at 8:oo with dew on the grass and pitch - and you know how kids are, they want to take care of their pride and joy, hence the application of a waterproof adhesive or a piece of rubber to block and water being absorbed into the bat.

I played between 1965 and 1985 thats a long time ago. :)

We do have a lot of dew in Delhi in winters which was when we played most of our cricket but I dont remember thi problem ever even mentioned by anyone let alone a precaution being taken

Yeah, happens a lot up here in sunny North of Scotland. Last year a chunk of willow flew off the corner of the bat, that was with a toe-guard! M&H recommended a coat of clear nail varnish. Have also used super glue!
