For the same reason that if you say you're going to Jane's funeral, someone will say, "Oh, did she die?"

It's just the quickest way to acknowledge that you have seen what has happened. It's a way of opening up the conversation and allowing the person in pain to talk about *how* sore it was, how they are feeling etc. It's a kind question, not a stupid one.
