As far as I understand it, its weight helps making the shifting easier. Almost like if you notice stock shifter knobs are heavier than some replacement aftermarket ones. "Throwing" the weight around puts some muscle into the shifting action. When designing for the masses this is the outcome. Lighter components available in the aftermarket will require more "muscle" on the driver to achieve the same results.
