There is no reason. Equally, [[w:foo]] is not needed on enwiki. They are
needed if we are to ever get our heads around interwiki transclusion: hosting
templates or pages on somewhere like Commons or meta, and transcluding them to
a variety of projects. Then, we need a set of interwiki links that work
similarly on *all* projects.
The issue here is that the interwiki tables of the various WMF wikis are not
synchronised. enwiki.interwiki contains entries for w: as well as b:, q:, c:,
etc. enwikibooks.interwiki contains w:, q:, c:, but *not* b:. If the WMF
wikis either shared an interwiki table, or ensured that updates to one table
were copied to all the others, this issue would be resolved. Changing summary
appropriately.
