Why do chisels have to be sharp?

Just curious....how much time do you guys spend sharpening....say a
1/2 in. chisel that has dulled from normal woodworking.....
20-30 seconds at a pop.
what grit stones do you use/ brand/ water/oil......
for my at-hand chisels, I keep a 600 grit diamond stone close and
touch the edge up before it gets dull. for some specialty chisels I'll
go to a finer stone, but they cut pretty well at 600 grit.
and what do you use to keep them from rusting?
I keep 'em dry.
