What would be the purpose of this? It seems like an oddly specific thing to exclude.

I'd expect the primary audience for a hardcover conversion would be libraries-- many of the books in my local library have been rebound, probably because the original paperback covers weren't suitable for that level of usage.

Hardbacks sell for a lot more money than paperbacks, earning the publisher (and usually the author) a lot more.
