Someone else cannot sign up with example@hotmail.com, because then I could talk to example@hotmail.com, thinking it was something else. It also means any subscriptions to online services will still be received in the inbox, as well as other aspects that require an email address. You could inherit someone's identity, thus making it impossible to sign up taking over an old account.
No, I really meant what cookie said
