My guess would be storage and shipping.

I've been buying/eating Sun-Maid raisins for decades. I pull the bag
out of the box, unfasten the sticky tab holding the bag closed against
moisture loss, and dispense raisins. Ya' jes gotta be smarter than
the packaging. I've no doubt you could remove the bag from the box
and put it in a cylindrical container,y if you prefer.
