Primarily aesthetic reasons, particularly when looking at stack traces. Somehow the idea of creating all that litter doesn't agree with me, either -- but as I said: it's not big enough an issue.
Another annoyance: IDEs complain about lack of serialVersionUID easily in those cases. A real problem: the behaviour of equals() can be surprising since each instance initialized that way will use a different type, which means that with correct equals() implementations none will be equal to each other, independent of the content.
