Because it's a business commitment, with real financial and other consequences. A marriage contract is not for "proof" of anything -- it's for getting into language the agreements that most people store in their heads, and more often than not, never get around to telling their partner that they are part of such an agreement!
It can be an exercise in insecurity, sure; but in the right hands it can also be a great document for planning a life together that works really, really well.
