It’s about giving you choice. If you want to then fix them immediately, you can. But you don’t have to if you don’t want to.
But really, it’s about something deeper: rebase is a first-class operation in memory, and not a serious of patch applications via the file system. They’re therefore lightning quick, and will always succeed, which is nice. If you get partway through resolving a conflict and want to change to something else for some reason, that’s possible and simple.
