I also don't know that much why peoples set password but i have observed many set password on their site name or want to keep only one quthor some time peoples do copy paste stuff of other members so if their is no password no one will download it after seeing members comment.
People setting password in the zip file is for some possible reasons. When they uploaded the files, the hosting server may has infected by virus, and it may affected their upload file, while having password, virus couldn't changes the file. So some people don't dare to download files that without password, worry that they will get infected by virus too.
