Well, git blame tells me:

commit 1369a44693d601a7dc917f2148bde1aa9daa1182
Author: warner <warner at lothar.com>
Date:   Sat Nov 25 13:55:52 2006 +0100

    SF#1517975: enhance 'start' and 'restart' commands to emit the
useful parts of twistd.log, up until the process has started properly

which is to say it's been there for a long time.  As to why?  I don't
know.  Is it a good idea?  I don't know.
