My guess will be to preserve the changes to the data dictionary, which are just Oracle tables anyway. When you create a table, a record goes to TAB$, SEG$ and so on and so forth. Unless there is a commit these information is not visible.

But now that you asked, I wnder why the same objective couldn't have been done through autonomous transactions.
