Because usually when you’re in a PAYE job, the payroll person/team calculates your tax on your expected income for the year. If you leave part way through the year then your existing deductions may mean you are owed tax.
I’m sure @DethBeard can explain far better than I can though.

I thought you cant overpay/underpay tax with PAYE.
Ha ha. Ha hahaha

I used to always overpay through PAYE by being on a tax code for a second job ie didn't include personal allowance. It was useful as it meant I didn't get a tax bill for small amounts of self-employed stuff.

just submitted
I was in a PAYE job in 2021-2022 and the tax code on P45 (I left in November) is 1257L.
The income and the tax calculations at submission show that I am owed overpaid tax, fair bit. How is this possible in a PAYE job? I thought you cant overpay/underpay tax with PAYE.
