Usually it's just a matter of style, I usually use a match of / on a template that's generating the top level output as it's just easier to find later. but it can make a difference if there are for example templates copying comments from the input to the result and you don't want top level comments copied matching on / and directing apply templates to the element node and ignoring top level comments and pis is one way to achieve that.
