Some companies do genuinely believe in reviews for their own sake, but I suspect that their current ubiquity has more to do with the fear that a laid-off employee might sue for wrongful dismissal if a paper trail hasn't been established.
It would be interesting to know if performance reviews are as common in jurisdictions where employers can fire staff at will.
