Just to get a more convenient number.

  1 centimeter per year is the same as 0.000000000317 meter per second.

Measured in centimeters per year, you get a number that's much easier
to write down, remember, and tell other people about.

Exactly the same reason that we describe the speed of a snail in
feet per minute, not miles per hour.
