For many, creating an ePub with Sigil (or other GUI editor) is much easier than dealing with raw markup manually (not to mention creating opf's and ncx's manually). And if those people are going to release a mobi AND an ePub version of the same book, it makes sense that they want to maintain one "source." ePub->MOBI.

Of course, if you're handy with html, and familiar with the ins and outs of the OPF, NCX file(s), then skipping the ePub creation entirely (or making it later) will probably make the most sense. MOBI->ePub.
