I speculate it's that when you print source code out you know that you are not missing a sheet when you take them with you. Doesn't really serve a purpose now (also, diff tools show you if you forget the newline before the end of file - also many editors do, even nano). That said, touching it at all causes churn - not sure what the upside is.
