Because the link between the driver and the road can be more direct than a system with an electric motor assistant.

Hydraulic steering, when well designed, is very good and with a good feedback.
The hydraulic system is just a set of valves that opens when a certain angle is reached, creating an assistance to reduce the effort to turn the wheel. It is still direct linkage.
