Probably the same reason there are kids up in the stands playing on their laptops and handheld gaming devices. Some kids might only be in it because it gets them out of school

In terms of the planes though, they need to stop. I've yet to see a good justification for why someone throws them, but plenty of terrible reasons why someone "thinks" it's a good practice.
