It's more pleasant than having to edit hundreds of pages because some page was renamed. That's why we prefer to use redirects instead of using direct links with different text displayed. If a page is moved, we'll only need to adjust the redirect (if it needs to be adjusted at all). The fact that it's less messy in source is a bonus.
