Only because it allows to have more players around the table: more
players, more money and more probability of entertainment.

With a 5 cards per player, and allowing each player to replace its hand
once, a 52 deck would limit the number of players to 5.

In theory, Texas can have up to 22 players. (44 players' cards, 3 burn,
5 community). Casino have max table at 13, but that's for reachability
from the deck's dealer.
