Book value growth is probably the most important metric for insurance companies and since BRK is still an insurance company at it's core (less so now than in the past, but still), the book value and book value growth is the metric to be used.

It will be less relevant going forward, since BRK is becoming more of an industrial conglomerate and for industrials, the book value is not that relevant, because it is a "path dependent metric", as one would state in physics.
