I assume the college official does it out of habit to be sure that a server has maximum run of the end line.

If the server is standing to the left sideline and will come close to your base position, you will want to line up behind them and even with the sideline, so you can still watch for sideline calls. The R1 will then take the lead on foot fault calls. Once the server serves the ball, get quickly back to your base position.

It isn't so much so the server can have access to the full end line, so much as to prevent the line judge from distracting or interfering with the server by getting in her line of sight.
