The answer to that sort of question is nearly always "Because that is 
what you asked for"

In your example, there is no apparent reason to hid root and use a 
Toplevel.  IDLE, however, is currently a multiwindow application with no 
main window and it uses 'root.withdraw'.

(In fact, it appears to do so twice in the IDLE process -- possibly a 
mistake.)
