Sprints are bullshit, so people use this method to work around this. It's actually kanban implemented over Scrum.
It's just too common for a task to turn into an "epic" mid-sprint. I only see value in sprints as regular checkpoints but the expectation that all tasks are finished after 2 weeks is just contrary to reality of software development in large organisations.
