Two reasons.
1) An electrical meter is more accurate at mid level readings. This means that if the speedometer is reading 65 it is probably accurate. If it reads 100 it is not as accurate.
2) It's psycological. It makes you believe that the car can go that fast. The only way my little putt mobile would go that fast would be by driving off a cliff (no, I don't do that).

Appeals to that "speedster instinct". Also, some cars wind up in racing events offroad in various kinds of tracks. Dirt track racing tookj off when moonshine liquor runners lost their business to federal agents and liquor stores.

Because it looks cool, and causes a Walter Mitty type imaginary race driver fantasy in car buyers...

So you can't plead ignorance when the cop pulls you over.....unless you go over 130MPH.
