Why do guitarists bang their heads?
why do DJs bang their heads? (they're barley even doing anything!)
Why so saxophonists tap their feet?

They're feeling the beat. Expressing the music, and emphesizing when they see fff or sfz on the page.
Plus, ever seen someone play Chopin? That requires almost all 88 keys (figure of speech). So of course, moving up and down the piano bench is needed for ergonomic reasons.
