Why are there high active and low active signals in a timing diagram?

I always see such signals (colored in the image) in a timing diagram. Now I've figured out that they're called: low-activ and for me an OR-gate high-active for me an AND-gate signals. But why isn't it all drawn as high-active signals (so that the…
