Somewhere the insurance company has probably decided that monitoring reduces the payments they have to make because the water gets turned off faster with monitoring than without it.
Last Christmas, the overhead sprinkler pipes burst above the college library where my wife works due to unusually cold temps that caused the pipes to burst. Although the staff discovered the leak in the early am, a heck of a lot of water had already poured into the building before the leak was discovered. It took months to repair all the damage at a significant cost. They had to remove most of the books from the library to replace the carpet under the shelving, etc. So I can see how discovering a leak and getting it stopped as quickly as possible would be advantageous.
