Because usually a program's lifetime is tied to the session it is part of and 
the D-Bus session daemon's lifetime determines the session lifetime. So when 
the server exits and closes the connection, most applications should clean up 
and exit too.

There are many reasons, including the server exiting or you sending invalid 
data.
