Why do they ask for tickets after the train starts going?

first in my own experience for short commutes they ask while it's going .....longer they take the tickets BEFORE hopping on the train. :)

Because it would waste too much time to sit there and collect the tickets first. Many people take the train to commute - the train has to be on a tight schedule

So they don't hold up the train while checking tickets.

After the trin is moving, you're just sitting there anyway. Might as well deal with tickets then.
