Deathtouch on Large Creatures

Why do some large black creatures these days, namely Grave Titan and Harvester of Souls, have deathtouch? It seems inelegant to have an ability on these creatures that comes into effect so rarely since those two naturally kill most creatures without them (due to being 6/6 and 5/5 respectively). Is it just because black is short on creature keywords?

Sometimes deathtouch is used more for flavor than function.
