Currently it is tradition and what people have learned to like.
Originally people used spices to cover up the taste of rancid fats and the early stages of spoilage before the availability of artificial refrigeration. In places like India where the weather was hot food spoiled faster and more spice was needed, in places like Norway where the weather was cold food spoiled very slowly and little or no spice was used, in other places the use of spices on food varied accordingly. People got used to this and it has become the tradition even though food can now be refrigerated anywhere to prevent spoilage.
