I don't understand why we have to put them into the environment in the first place (and then make sure we scrub it). Isn't it just as easy to read the secret from a file?

The difference could be that files are managed by the devs and env is managed by the ops. Depends on the team structure you have.

There are setups like batch schedulers and lambdas/serverless where using environment variables is pretty standard.
