Because ssh-agent can only serve so many connections in a given time period.
We start between 50-100 ssh sessions within a short time period, and they all
race to connect to the agent socket. Some of these ssh processes fail so they
have to back off and retry. We could also have put the retry mechanism in the
tool but in our case it seemed to make more sense to put this functionality in
ssh.
