The reason being that the scraper cuts the grain but the sandpaper kind of frays it. The stain will take much better, especially in the case of oak which has a more open pore structure (which should be filled before staining). The wood will also be slightly more resistant to rot and dings.
A cabinet scraper basically a flat piece of spring steel with an edge that has a burr burnished onto it. You can get wood to a finish flat surface in just a few strokes.
