This is more about

being nicer to read than

You don't have to spend time realizing that it's the same variable (not
e.g. SomeReallyLongVariableNameY) if you read the 1st form.

On the other side

    SomeReallyLongVariableNameX += SomeReallyLongVariableNameY - 1;

is too much similar (visually) to

    SomeReallyLongVariableNameX := SomeReallyLongVariableNameY - 1;

:(

(You can't please everyone...)
