So that a fish taking the bait on or near the bottom would also lift the lower weight and this would make the float rise up or sometimes lay on it's side. The waggler float having a long shaft below the waterline could register a "lift bite" particularly if the small shot weights beneath the float down near the bottom were set at the correct depth. The float would be more sensitive as only the small portion above the waterline would need to be pulled down when a fish took the bait. As the line is only connected to the bottom of the waggler the line could then be submerged between the float and the rod and hence would not be subject to the effects of wind and drift on windy days. I used to float fish my local lakes a lot and use wagglers and we used to use the weights to shot the float down so just the tip of the float was visible above the waterline. I had similar questions when the better floats and wagglers became available sometime ago.
