As someone who ran a popular link shortening platform let me tell you how difficult it is to curtail spam links.

This is likely a way to warn users before being forwarded to fraudulent websites that a link has been marked as spam.

There are many other use cases for this redirect as well but this is the most obvious for user safety.
