You get to be creative, putting together whole stories instead of a snap shot here and there. A good layout makes you feel the pictures and the emotions of the rest of the story.
Like maybe some odd shots of a long ago camping trip can be a two page layout of all of the kids and their dirty clothes and happy faces. Together with pictures of the campfire, all of their names and dates, the happy Moms. You can see the whole vacation spread out in front of you. Makes for nice warm fuzzy feeling.
I made a scrapbook for my future daughter in law with recipes from different family members. Everyone contributed and she loved it, made her feel like a welcome part of the family. I don't think just a photo album, or just some recipes would have had the same effect. She knew I put alot of hours and love in to it just for her.
What do they say? 'A picture is worth a thousand words'.... Well a good scrapbook page gives you a few thousand all at once.

Gives people something to do. Largely, I'm convinced that there are a few people with the genuine talent to make an album beautiful and personal through scrapbooking, but for the most part, it's just a means to sell lots of crap to bored people. Just putting pictures in an album (labels optional) does the same job--albeit with less flare (or crap, depending).

Well, it's entertaining (supposedly) because you get to be creative. It's mostly for the perfectionists, the idle or the super hyper creative that cannot be perfectly happy with just having an album.

IT TELLS YOU ABOUT THE PICTURES AS A REFERENCE FOR THE FUTURE . I JUST STARTED AND I AM ADDICTED . I HAVE PICTURES CATEGORIZED AND NOW MY GRANDCHILDREN WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THEM AND ENJOY THEM WHEN I'M NOT AROUND , AND THEY'LL KNOW WHAT THE PICTURES ARE ABOUT ,
