Not gp, but maybe because without book-keeping you lose information in a CRUD style app? The append-only (until/unless you truncate it) log gives you a lot of durability and insight into the system via replaying events from a snapshot + log combination. At least, that's my understanding
I've always seen the CRUD aspect of an application more of a reference to the aspects of the public facing API, rather than the architecture or implementation of the service in an application.
