It was believed that by not having a +/- system hurt our academic image so they implemented one. Apparently, most prestigious universities do this?
It certainly gives more accuracy now that an 80 and an 89 are no longer the same. It is a .6 difference in GPA so the higher grade is now distinguished.
It also forces students to not blow off the final for certain classes. For example, if I'm going into a final with a 97, I have no incentive to study as it is pretty unlikely I'm going to drop my grade below an A. But now, I have that 4.3 to fight for, and if I don't study I could even fall to a 3.7 for that class.
