Just a case of fitting to her theme, I guess. Her original Champion concept was called "Stoneflower" and this turned into "Stone weaver" during developement and a Stone weaver doesn't only throw rocks onto the enemies but uses them to move faster herself. Also it's a way to give her some kind of interaction with terrain, although it's not really interactive.

Gameplaywise, in return it strengthens her identity as a romer and allways moving caster (she moves during her Q and can adapt E and W to almost every Position). But it doesn't have any synergies or interactions with her kit (the movementspeed on worked ground aside, cuz one hardly notices it), so it may feel random or unfitting.
