Because the real arcade games loose their high scores when they are turned off.

Mame is about acting just like the original arcade hardware. Hence, if the arcade game doesn't save the high scores on the real machine then it won't in normal Mame. If the arcade game does save the high score(s) then Mame will also. Mame tries to replicate exactly what the old machine would do.

Another caveat is that the saving (using highscores.dat) doesn't happen until you exit MAME. So say you are in a game and you get a score, and then you turn off your MAME cab, your score will be wiped out. (at least that's how it is with my OLD version of DOS MAME in DOS mode. I must hit EXIT first)
