You might want to help your friends start moving politically, eg you might have a crown prince that you want to line up for your job. Or you might know that your team is going to be taken over by some tyrant, in which case they need some time to jump ship. Or you might want to take people with you wherever you're going, and they should start talking to their families about whether they want to go on that adventure with you.
Also keep in mind people are unlikely to just blurt out that you are out interviewing, especially if they are a trusted person. They might want to tell management that there's a number of people looking to leave and they should do something about it if they want to keep people.
Of course try to weigh the pros and the cons. But don't keep it private unconditionally.
