Everything has a weight/mass. The larger the distance between the poles, the more wire is used, which means more weight. Gravity pulls down on the wire causeing it to sag where not supported. If construstion workers were to make the wire as tight as possible it may pull the poles right out of the ground. This also provides flexibility in times of high winds or when the poles shift.

In addition, a sag is intentionally provided to provide slack for when the line contracts in cold weather.
