Spout covers?

Why do some portafilters have the cover that goes over spouts (Domobar Jnr for example)?

Don't know to be honest....

Used to remove the covers from mine so I could see what was going on a little better.
Been using a bottomless Group Handle for a few years now though and won't be going back to "spouts"...

Maybe to minimise heat loss?
