For me, at least two reasons:

1. As you say, to see more information about where the paper comes from.

2. It's easy to get from the abstract page to the PDF, but not vice versa.

Personally, I also think it's good for people to get into the habit of linking to a text description of data-heavy resources rather than directly to the resources. PDFs aren't that data-heavy, but there are plenty of other things that are that could do with a text landing page, and I think it's good to get in that habit.
