Sloped roofs facilitate rain removal much better than flat roofs... even an inch of water on a flat roof can add many tons of weight to the roof structure, depending on roof size. Same with snow / ice buildup in winter.
A sloped roof also aids in heat removal from inside the building, as the hottest air will tend to rise... and with large industrial fans located in the highest portions of factory walls, make it easier to vent outside, reducing the number of fans needed to do the same job as a flat roof...
