My guess is to keep water from getting into the threads and freezing them shut.

if that were a problem, honestly, hydrants wouldn’t have lasted a freeze/thaw cycle. Water expands and breaks shit (potholes for example,) it might get frozen and harder to open, but they have massively huge hydrant wrenches for a reason. (and it ain’t compensating for their tiny hose…) (that’s what the big hose is for.)
