The reason is so they won't mate. You don't want to suddenly find baby rabbits. You will have to buy extra food, give them shots(extremely expensive), provide extra bedding, more food, etc.

However, if you do neuter/spay, the rabbit will be capable to live a longer life and will appreciate you more!

Not necessarily, but spaying her will reduce the risk of her getting ovarian cancer, and takes away some teenager attitude if spayed before she's a "teen". There's always the risk of losing your rabbit in the operation, but it doesn't happen very, very often.
