The answer to the question of why it's done is fairly simple. At some point
somebody, somewhere, found readers thinking that the content-less page
was an error. I don't think you can make much of a "case" for deleting it.
The arguement for keeping it is that its presence does no harm to the reader
and may head off an unnecessary bit of confusion, while the best arguement
you can offer for deleting it is that it may not provide much of a benefit
and
requires a bit more work on the part of the writer (which nobody but the
writer really cares about). It's not a something that I would expend much
effort trying to fight against when there are ways to automate its
insertion.
