The popping occurs due to the heating up of water and oils inside the kernel, this leads to steam which increases pressure inside and pops the kernel, there must be some advantage to the water inside the kernel, the tasty snack is a side effect.
I can only suggest that an advantage of the water inside would perhaps be to sustain the plant's growth during the early stages of germination, but i don't really know why there would be water in seeds for sure
