Whilst it would indeed seem that upon getting wet, the water simply runs off the leather, if left in damp humid conditions the leather will go mouldy. It is not advisible to leave leather around too much water, just in case, so whilst the way it is treated means it doesn't absorb water easily, its better to be safe than sorry.
