They get pitted and warped, they also get spots in them where they have gotten hot and become somewhat "tempered" and the tempered places will wear into the clutch disk causing grooves and the disk won't wear evenly.
In any event, turning or trueing the plates will insure that the entire surface of the plates will contact the clutch disk. This will cause a much smoother take off, more pulling power (less slippage) less clutch chatter and ultimately cause less wear and a much longer life of the disk itself.
I myself never put a clutch back together without turning the plates... then again, I never put one back together without a new shaft, throw out bearing, teaser spring, pressure spring, spiral pins and washers either, but that's just me.
I can't really speak for the other guys here about the rest of the parts, but I don't think anyone will disagree with me about turning the plates.
