A separate /home partition means you can set $ROOTFS as read-only (and /home as rw) and have a "pseudo-everlasting but not really" file system.
(And before someone says "Why not simply disable logs instead? It's the same thing." -- yes, yes it is. But sometimes you want a "just werks" solution, even if it is a dumb one. Which is (obviously) disabling writes all over $ROOTFS.)
