Butter doesn't need refrigeration because it doesn't mold. Butter is so fatty that the problem is exposure to air will turn the oils rancid. Having room temperature butter exposes the convenience of it as a condiment because it spreads so easily and pairs will so much in the kitchen.
Imagine a snack of a buttered slice of bread that has no bread tearing, no gentle buttering - slather with abandon using room temp butter!
There is also no tearing if you don't spread the cut slices of butter any further.
