For me, a good reason is: "there may not be any validation now, but I
suspect there might be in the future".

It all depends on the situation but I think it is rare that the class itself
needs to access the variable though the property. There is no point turning
a high speed variable access into a slower function call every time just in
case something might change in the future. If it does change and it becomes
appropriate to use the property then modify the code.
