Try to ride a bike that has been sitting out in the paddock for 10 years and has a completely dry chain and you'll find out why they need to be lubricated.
Take that same bike and imagine it was built up without the use of grease on any of the bolt threads. Wonder if you could actually turn any of those bolts now.
