I think it serves two purposes:

 1. It keeps the entry in the table of contents short. With the full
 length entry, it looks slightly strange.

 2. For those who use PDF bookmarks, without the short title, the
 bookmarks tab takes up more space.

See the attached screenshot.

That said, if there is a benefit I don't think it is worth the cost. I
think that especially for the Intro manual, we should keep things as
simple as possible.
