The benefit is as OP said: it bypasses corporate firewalls because it's a google doc.
Although I can only reproduce this redirect page in a published doc page[0], not in a pdf export (unless there's another way to download pdf via url trickery)

- crtasm 3y agoA HTML file exported from google docs is not a google doc and I don't see how or why a firewall would see it as one? The URL to download the export can't be shared as far as I can tell. edit: you can reuse the URL to download the export. tested on another network. it expires fairly quickly though, within a couple minutes it seems.

(thanks for the test) So it's clearly not a possible real vector, and actually they thought about it being a possible vector, otherwise they would not have put the expiration.
