For the same reasons that we need a numeracy system today which is based on the Hindu-Arabic numeral system that was a lot easier than the Roman numeral system that it replaced.

Arab merchants needed an easier and faster way to calculate prices, quantities of goods, etc. The Roman numerals were just too slow and difficult to calculate, especially with larger numbers.
