    Because animation in the web was new. Well, the web was new in general. They were more of a site entrance, trying to bring a wow factor in. Probably done because that's how it was being done in Director/Authorware for DVD's or software-based training discs when you first opened those kinda presentations (those were the two big pieces of software at the time). It wasn't a good idea, not for everything at least (makes sense for some sites that are more presentational than for content). Live and learn I guess...
