[G]etting a buffer proxy helps with surface locking semantics.
When you get a BufferProxy the surface is locked (which you need to do

That's a good reason. Although the new buffer protocol
has locking facilities built in, so it wouldn't strictly
be needed then.
The new buffer protocol is for Python 3.0. I believe it breaks things so
will ever be available for the 2.x series.
