I can't profess to be an expert in this, but one obvious answer is that it allows them to give a traveller an end-to-end itinerary under, say, Qantas, when they don't actually have enough demand to make flying a route economical by themselves.
It's really disappointing when at the last minute, you realise your long haul flight which you thought was Qantas is in fact now a Jetstar codeshare...
