There is no particular legal reasoning behind it from the point of origin; in English law centuries ago it was just used to indicate that the person didn't have anything else to say about the matter, and made it clear that, e.g. there weren't missing pages after that (the same way some Tweet threads have /ENDS at the end or a book might have a page saying "The end".)
Yeah that makes sense. I find it kinda off how much weird old English (and Latin, I guess) still remains in the legal system. Seems like "End of document" would suffice and not sound so silly. Or hell, throw some HTML in there. </body>
