Besides these obvious reasons there are things the jets/aircrafts can actually do to save lives. Since 9/11 especially, there are special tactical groups that use robotic aircraft devices to attach to these planes and dismantle threats. There are also grappling devices used in midair that can help the passengers on the plane take control of the situation.
One of the obvious reasons for grappling onto the plane is you can move the plane in such a way that anyone standing will basically be killed or in critical condition. The people standing will likely be the terrorists so there will be limited causalities.
I was actually involved in one of these groups for a short period time while in the military.
