Just reading through Planar Bridge and while the end result is obvious, I'm curious about the wording. What exactly is the advantage of fetching the creature to your deck and then placing it on the battlefield, vs just taking it from your opponent's deck and putting it straight onto the battlefield?

I think it does that so the game recognizes it as your card. That way it goes to your graveyard when it dies or your hand if bounced.

Brigby also made a point recently that they are focussing on ensuring that cards do what they say they do, as in the written text gets funtionally followed.
This ensures that the designers and the programmers are on the same page.

There is an actual mechanical reason why it's worded that way, though.
Essentially, it moves the card to the top of your library, then moves it to the battlefield. In most cases, it doesn't matter, but if you end up cancelling the move to the battlefield (due to cancelling reclaim, for example) it returns to the top of your library, ensuring you will draw it as your next card.
If we don't do that, it would get shuffled into your library, and then it just feels like the ability failed, yet you wouldn't know it still would be in your library.
