The oft-cited reason is that you can fold A4 in half, etc. to form other standardized paper sizes.
Which sounds nice, but in practice just doesn't come up all that often.
For you, and even then for you directly.
Papermakers definitely benefit from this standard, which indirectly benefits you.
And from personal experience, being able to turn any stack of A4 papers into an A5 'zine is great.
It is a very common occurrence, since you can print/photocopy two pages side-by-side on one sheet without any loss.
Photocopiers and printers outside America include buttons for this.
It's a standard feature of photocopiers in the US too.
It can't work perfectly except with the A series paper sizes.
