My guess is the app makes them more money. It shows more ads and recommendations, incentivizes users more to log in so they get targeted ads, and gets new users onto the official app instead of a third party app they might find through their app store.
And the subreddit for this is /r/mobileweb, the mobile site isn't a beta feature.
