As a non-lawyer, I could be wrong, but I suspect that people include
this phrase because they have read that they need to do so, not because
they understand it. I suspect what is actually required is a statement
of the licence, then "all *other* rights reserved". Hopefully it would
be read under the assumption that it was added without understanding.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
