The difference is that page numbers are usually already in the book, so why add extra unnecessary text instead of something already there that you can just move from the bottom of the page? It's just more elegant. And I'm not convinced that the stripper always does eat that text every time. I can think of at least one book that had an extra word "Chapter" at the beginning of each chapter. By adding, or as is usually the case, just moving, a page number to the top of the page, if the stripper doesn't eat the text used to protect the chapter title, you just have a page number there instead of junk text that wasn't in the book. Much better looking.

You need to have some text above it for the stripper to strip. Why not just use the page number? If you're going to have to put something above the chapter title in any case, why not put something that is needful and part of the book anyway, instead of something that is not?
