Probably because he had alot of leftover points and Vit is pretty much the go-to "dump stat." Also the fact that he'll be wearing relatively weak armor means he'll be able to offset his defensive weakness with more flat health. Also it helps make his Power Within not hurt him so much overall.
That all being said, this looks like a great build, and the only suggestions I would really make are things that are likely personal to me, and at the risk of sounding a bit arrogant I'll go ahead and post those thoughts anyway
-Take Dex to 45 for maximum spellcasting speed increase since Pyromancy is the type of magic that benefits the most from this reduction.
-Take End down to 29. With the RoFaP, you will still have the <25% roll and 157 stamina, which is only 3 less than what you would have without the ring at 40 End.
-This one is probably the most "personal" of these since not many others like to do this, but here goes; Vit is still a bit too high, so cutting a bit into Vit along with the extra points from lowering your End, take your Str to 27 for full effect of the Great Scythe's secondary strength scaling. You lose less than 100 HP (74 to be exact) and along with the 5 extra points allocated to Dex earlier you push the Scythe's AR to over 500 (503 to be exact again
).
Anyway, as I said before, it looks like a good build
EDIT: And one last thing, you may want to actually consider using two pyro gloves, one fully ascended and one not upgraded at all, using the not upgraded one for Power Within since using a weaker glove reduces the health drain inflicted on you by the spell.
