Well, yes, the most obvious reason would be comparisons between similar antennas, but another great reason to model an antenna is what you learn from it. I've learned more about antennas from playing around with EZNEC (current distributions, performance plots, phasing effects, the effect of length and spacing changes on impedance curves, etc) than I ever did reading books on the subject.

What is the purpose of modeling tri-banders, like Steps, etc. Is it just to compare antennas before purchasing one? If I have a Step up, why would I want to model it?

Sure not gonna be moving elements around for more gain or F/B.

Just curious.  73
