It reduces the sudden "jolt" of energy into the cap because in many cases
the cap does not completely discharge before it begins recharging.  The
exception is the harsh initial charge conditions.

It also allows tuning procedures at lower power settings, typically 25-30%
to find the primary resonant point before adding lots of power into the
primary system -- if this power is not "absorbed" by the secondary system it
is very hard on the cap and transformer, especially NST systems.
