To protect the wood
To show off the grain

the original reason people began staining wood was to make cheap wood look like dark expensive hardwood.
I have no reason to stain wood, as it hides the beautiful wood grain. I just use tung oil.

To get a different colour. Some stains are protective as well. You have some stain you want to use up.
