What's the logic behind being deferred?

So I’ve been wondering: why do colleges defer some early applicants to the regular admission pool?

Considering the fact that early admission letters come out around mid-December and most regular applications are due around January, there would be no time for the individual to improve much. The most I can think of is taking one last Sat/Act and rewriting college essays. If you’re deferred, what do colleges expect you to do?
