Adding a little salt balances the flavor of sweets, as well as enhances the flavors in savory dishes.
In a lot of recipes for sweets that call for butter, unsalted butter is always recommended, even though salt is added later on. This is so the salt can be controlled.

To add flavor. Plus a "pinch" (Although some peoples "pinches" are huge) isn't overwhelming the dish. It is just adding to the flavor and bringing out the flavors of the other ingredients.

Not only does it add flavor, but have you ever noticed that a pinch is more like a half a cup??

Salt brings out and "fixes" the flavor.
