You need to number the string arguments because in some translations, the order in which the substitutions appear may not be the same. If you just use %s, there is no way to for example use the second argument earlier than the first; it will need to find the first occurrence of %s and match it with the first parameter, and so on. With numbered arguments, one translation could do this: "Dear %2$s, %1$s." (for example when the strings represent first and last names, where there are different conventions across localizations.)
