The reason is to support running the system bus daemon before any other 
filesystems are mounted. And /var isn't guaranteed to be part of the root 
filesystem. Like Lennart said, there are many systems with a read-only / and/or 
/usr, but with a writable /var.

However, at this point I have to question: why does dbus-daemon need to start 
before the local filesystems are mounted?

I understand and agree with starting it before the network filesystems are 
mounted.
