I suspect they ask for a resume so they can send it to someone else. Extracting a resume from linkedin is work (AKA an opportunity for an application or linkedin feature). I wonder whether folks are more likely to keep their linkedin profile up to date or their resume.

Every LinkedIn profile has a "PDF" button that generates a pretty nice-looking resume representation of the profile.

There's already applications that build structured data (aka HRXML) from scraped/API-grabbed LinkedIn data. There's a ton of automation in the recruitment industry.
