Another question would be: Why does a service need a separate log file
system at all? IMO, it should be preferable to have services use syslogd
(when applicable).
You want separate log files because some services log more than an
occasional message and because you want all these messages grouped
together. Email logging is a good example.
Once you establish a need for independent log files then FHS requires
independent directories owned by the service. We have a goal to be FHS
compliant.
Also independent directories make SELinux a lot happier.
