To stop Google from providing indefinite public access to that article.
There are all sorts of reasons why someone might want that.

I searched for some information that was posted to me a couple years
ago, and found that they used that header. Now their information is
lost forever. (Right?)

I think it sucks.

Perhaps you could have saved your own copy of that article. Usenet is
essentially a transient thing; Google and other archives are never going
to be complete and might vanish overnight for all sorts of reasons.
