...because it's easier to grip and has less bounce. It's really about physics, specifically Newton's third law of motion. It's probably easiest to think of that law in terms of car crashes, for example, but it's every bit as applicable to a receiver catching a ball.
It's also easier to control it when throwing it because less pressure inside the ball allows one to get a better grip (friction) on it. The grip benefits manifest themselves most in wet conditions.
All the best.
