In the winter, water freezes and melts and the results are just the same as they are when water freezes and melts on a concrete driveway or brick steps. Eventually, the concrete or brick will spall. A cracked chimney is dangerous and expensive to fix. A cap will simply divert snow and rain away from the chimney and allow it to roll down the roof and into the gutters.
A chimney cap also protects the roof from embers that are blown up out of the chimney, land on the roof and become a fire hazard.
