Because normal wrist bands hold electronic volts, which can damage the quiptment and hardware. Grounding straps don't do this.

 Why would a person who handles electronic components wear a grounded wrist strap?

To handle some items of electronic nature may require the use of a wrist strap because some of these items are static sensitive. Typically, the most vulnerable are semi conductor transistors. An example would a CMOS (metal oxide of silicon type of technology). These are susceptible to static charges. A person could create a static charge build up, between them selves, their body and the ground. Wearing certain items of clothing can cause this because certain types act as good insulators and can allow a charge to build up upon themselves eg. wool pullovers. The provision of a wrist strap allows this charge to be released before it can harm the component. Imagine a capacitor being charged up by a voltage source and having been allowed to hold an maintain that charge then being allowed to discharge it. Sometimes charge of 1000 s of volts can be created. This would damage the internal components of the semi conductor device.
