Good explanation of why it's optional in this case, although i'm not convinced that reason is the only reasonable antecedent of why. For example, the explanation why is a common usage,. Why is used here as an interjection. According to merriam-webster: —used to express mild surprise, hesitation, approval, disapproval, or impatience I don't think as to why means anything more. It's a rather unusual term except in poetry where you need a bit more emphasis - or a couple of extra words to make the lines line up.
