There are several reasons. Some people just enjoy having a physical memento, but aren't interested in collecting extra items they don't want. In this case, some may want a physical copy of the standard edition just to have a box and a disc, while also desiring the digital perks that come from the collector's edition, yet not being interested in the statue. An upgrade path is perfect for that.

There are also those that may simply change their mind and desire an upgrade as their enjoyment of the game increases, or even as their finances allow an expanded purchase. Again, an upgrade path is perfect for those as well.
