Probably so bluesky can get affiliate money, either changing affiliate links with their own a'la honey or just tracking them to report to advertisers how much traffic is going through their platform to garner deals.
In other words, money
How would link hijacking help with that? They can just track/rewrite directly without going through an intermediate step. The other commenter’s explanation seems more plausible.
That's literally what Honey did that caused the Internet to blow up about them a short while ago.
But do you have any evidence that Bluesky is doing that? It has nothing to do with this post.
