Why? What advantage do you think you're getting by doing this?

Fair question, Roy.
What's not to like about having in your hands a published graphical
diagram and printed text to supplement the verbal clearance?

There is no graphic for the procedure. There are five text instructions,
depending on what type of hardware you are flying and what runway you
are assigned. I read the wrong instruction based on the departure runway
I was given, missed the hardware note and was corrected on my switch to
departure.
By adding the NO SIDS OR STARS remark, I am usually given a more simple,
expedited departure and only fly radar vectors and altitude assignments.
