WHat are the nav beacons for?

I must be ignorant but why do pilots stop there?

The beacons ought to have the system trade data or something which would give meaning for players congregating there.
 
I think it was the point where players original comes out of hyperspace,
but they gave the players a shortcut to arrive directly in supercruise instead
so you don't have to change to supercruise (and charge up FSD) every time.
But the NPCs still jump there and than start towards SC or Hyperspace Jump to an other system.

Technically, the Nav Beacons are needed to keep track in Hyperspace.
Without you wouldn't be able to directly jump to a star system.
Its like a Lighthouse in thick nebula but for space ships. ;)
