As a bartender, the reasons are basically:

1- Tips! People like a little something fun to watch. I don't drag things out or do any big fancy tricks(flair bartending is actually illegal in this State, or so I'm told), I'm not trying to hold my line up or make anyone wait for their drink longer than necessary. That being said...

2- It also alleviates boredom for me, the one making the 30th Peach Fairy Dust Spritzer of the evening. At a certain point it's all just muscle memory anyway to make the drink itself, it's fun to do something a little different.
