The reason they want it is to have the ability to see around corners, above cliff faces, and remain in cover. It makes them feel safer having the ability to incognito camera angle and see whats on the other side.
That is the only reason. There is no benefit to the pilots ability to make the mech drive with a third person view. And quite frankly, if the mini map with the massive arrow pointing the direction of your legs is not enough for you to go off, I suggest you try Hello Kitty Island adventures.
