You can play when you're not connected to the internet, you just have to start the game first. And, as Muzick said, it protects against piracy.
That is not the reason for Origin. Origin gathers data about your habits on your pc and your web browsing. It then compiles that data for EA to share your personal info with other companies, yes, EA may say they don't sell your info, but they share it. Even when you don't link Origin to your game, (inside the game) it will still transfer all your pc usage to EA. What did you open today on your pc? Origin knows and transmits that to EA. In turn EA uses that data or what you searched or looked for on the internet to give to third party companies about you. Just like Face Book and Google you are the product, not the game.
Ugh that just puts a bad taste in my mouth.... This is why I don't have a facebook anymore... I used to log in and would see ads from websites I had just visited it was creepy. Makes me think of this movie called, The Circle.
