Because older cars didn't really have much power steering, and parking or even turning at low speeds could require a lot of strength to move the steering wheel on a big, heavy car. This moves the rack to the right or left, which turns the vehicle's wheels. Without power assist, you'd need grunt force to turn the pinion and move the rack.
