a couple points... firstly, there is never "nobody behind you" there is only "can't see someone behind you" second, when you do find out there is someone behind you, or beside you, or wherever they happen to turn up, having the bike in gear ready to apply power without the need to let the clutch out, rev match, do anything except apply throttle means you can do it faster which means you can react to problems faster which means you can keep yourself from hitting the thing that just jumped out in front of you or is about to hit the side of you. so with this second point in mind, thirdly; reducing the time between being unable to apply power/make rapid changes that might be needed means reducing the time that you are making yourself vulnerable. so doing things like blipping to rev match makes smooth gear changes quicker. which means you are vulnerable for less time.
