That's a good question... 

I also saw a few cases that they also included their reasons which was sometimes not strong enough and it was equal to the case where a person say only "I support" or "I do not support". e.g. very generic reason.
So, for me, it is helpful when the supporters say that what they like about a draft and why they think it is important to follow it further and non-supporters also bring the same reason on how they do not like the document and why they think it is not worth to follow it. 

I also saw sometimes that co-authors or authors also responded to such message from WG. I think it is like complement .. because never someone who worked or wrote the draft says "no".. and I don't know this is a fair voting..
