Why on earth does a car need a heated steering wheel?

I thought the same thing until my last Chevy truck happened to come with it in one of the packages. I didn't even know it until I started it remotely one cold morning and jumped inside to a warm wheel. We got our new CRV last year and had the heated wheel installed. Both my wife and I have arthritis in our hands, and it feels really nice in colder weather.
