I'm going to have to take an educated guess on this which I would say to prevent axle wrap issues as much.

I would say it's because the axle moves rearward as the springs compress? Might have to do with the geometry so the pinion angle doesn't drastically change as the suspension compresses.

I think both of those responses seem logical.  Leverage and angle retention.
