It's used to bridge clients until more clients start supporting webtorrent directly. libtorrent (which for example deluge and qbittorrent use) already supports webtorrent (not sure which ones turn it on by default though).
The goal is basically to not have to use the bridge in the future.
Also one plus with a bridge compared to just downloading directly is that if a file becomes popular your server does not need to shoulder the full load since the webtorrent swarm can handle most of the load.
