Why do people on high calorie diets do cardio?

This is something that I think I may already know the answer to but I’m not sure so i figured I would as you wonderful people on here.
My question is , I’ve seen many guys who are on bulking diets eating massive amounts of calories (for argument let’s say this person eats 5000cal a day. Let’s say their goal is to get more muscle as well. They are eating way over maintenance. I see people all the time with this goal and eating pattern and Doing 45 min of cardio and it confuses me. Wouldn’t they be better off just saving their time and energy and eat a little bit less? Why do cardio if you are trying to get bigger? Is it just for the cardiovascular benefits?
Earlier I said I think I may know why and I saved my theory for the end . Is it indeed for the aforementioned cardio vascular benefits and heart health? I still find that odd because a lot of the guys I see are doing huge amounts of gear and im talking huge!! thus it would be like getting a new paint job on your car when the engine is smoking and about to burst into flames.

Btw this isn’t something I’ve only seen newbs do , I’ve seen ifbb pros do this in the off-season. I know there has to be something to it that’s why I’m asking. Any info would be great.
