I'm thinking they'd want to control misuse of the platform. Someone links malware and it is shared enough, they may want to be able to intercept that. At least, that's what I'd want to be able to do.
i doubt it’d be for that: if it’s a malicious link, they can just remove the post/link from their platform and the same effect is achieved
best case scenario it’s planning for when atproto has more PDSes, front-ends, etc: in that case, a central place where all platform links go so that you can set your “home” server so that all links into atproto redirect to your home server
worst case it’s for tracking click through for advertising
