I don't understand why eg. kwalitee requires each distribution to have a distributed pod and pod-coverage test.

Because:

• it shows that the author cares about this issue
• if the author abandons the dist, a new maintainer gets all the stuff the previous author put into the dist
• it does no harm - if done right. And soon CPANTS will check if it's done right.
