I think it's less about padding-for-padding's-sake and more about maintaining symmetry in design. Notice that both the author's changes were fundamentally just restoring symmetry to elements within a box layout.
In this particular case the symmetry makes some sense. But I would rather cut the top (which is wasting a lot of space) than padded the bottom to match the top.
