In my experience, it used to be that most people did fandom like that, and in some parts of fandom it's still very common.

It certainly has some advantages: not only does it ensure that you don't leave your readers hanging with stories that end up going nowhere, it means you can edit the finished product as a whole before posting. You're not restricted by what you've already written -- you can toss the beginning if it's preventing the end from working, change things large and small, and you can lift passages from unfinished stuff for use in stories that are actually working because the unfinished stuff is not already public.

You also avoid almost all comments about when you're going to update next. (On the rare occasions that I get requests for "updates", they're requests for sequels to finished stories, and my sense is that the exchange generally has a much happier tone on both sides even though I say no to the requests.)
