This lowers the overall torque being transferred by the shifting components, which results in less chance of failure and lower required shifting forces.
See this thread for once instance of failure:

Doing this would also allow you to make your gearbox overall shorter as you can offset the last output shaft in whichever direction you like.
However I did tell my wife I wanted to lose 20lbs of ugly fat quickly. She told me to cut off my head. Go figure. - Ed Coleman [more]
