As a librarian, it's because it damages the books. It makes the pages easy to tear. Also, depending on how they folded in it, it can put a large line through the text that makes it awkward to read. I highly suggest not dog-earing borrowed books.

In saying that, do whatever you want with your own books. They're yours to enjoy.

That's fair! I don't fold through text (never have) but I've gotten a book from the library where it was folded through the text and I get that it makes it awkward to read.
