So that the garbage-collector doesn't see this memory as still in use.
To explain a little further, the block of memory in the pool will be seen as a zero-length slice when used, but it might have previously contained 10,000 series. Unless we zero out those pointers, or re-use that block for a new scrape of length 10,000, they will all continue to be seen as valid references by the garbage-collector.
This is more noticeable when using

, but still relevant before.
