I've wondered that myself but have never researched it. I suspect that it's purpose is to seal in air that gets compressed at the end of the pin when braking. This compression is then used to help back the pad away from the rotor when braking pressure is let up.
That's my thought on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
