Why water-cooled?

OK....
I have listened to the discusion from both sides.
For this season, I am going to repair the Force 85. (I know, I should throw
it away, and get a decent engine that costs $7,000 - $8,000, but that is not
going to happen!)
For the future, since I have the tools to make it happen, I will "play" with
the idea, and see what comes of it.
(Keith...I will experiment outside of your marina!)

Why are smaller outboard motors water-cooled?
I am thinking 5 - 9 HP engines.
I understand why inboard, inboard/outboard, and larger outboards are
water-cooled; but why are smaller outboard engines water-cooled as well?
Wouldn't air-cooling be simpler?
