Why level machines in the shop?

I hear lots of talk of people leveling their machines in the wood shop. Except for a sliding table saw which may use gravity to keep the slider working properly I can't understand the importance of this.
In a jointer, for example, as long as the piece of lumber is sitting correctly relative to the cutter block and infeed/outfeed tables, why does it matter if it's level? Same for an assembly table, as long as it's flat and you're measuring everything relative to its surface why does it matter if it's absolutely level?

Hopefully I'm not missing something very obvious, if so please feel free to ridicule me, but just a bit
