couple of reasons,
the code itself would often scare me off with all that crap characters and therefore couldn't be trusted to take me where i wanted to go. I always hover over a link and check it before clicking.
landing on some dodgy or annoying site but wanted to click through to something that interested me but didnt want the shit annoying site to get any credit.
basically the internet is a dodgy place full of tricks, the less you click on dodgy looking links the saferyou are. I use this knowledge to help in my marketing now with things like .php redirects and creating a nice tidy link, i don't generaly remove watermarks however because its just not worth my time as far as time spent / benefit.
