I'm assuming authors do this to support users who may navigate by heading and not landmarks -- but they also associate them to benefit people who navigate by landmarks. I'm not commenting on whether this is good or bad -- but just a guess on why authors do this. My understanding is that many users navigate by heading rather than landmark from looking at the WebAIM screen reader user survey.
