I’m not the author so I’m going to speculate wildly that this may be an artifact from back when the button was introduced. SMBC wanted to encourage its readers to vote for the comic on “top webcomics” listings, and the extra comic panel was introduced as an incentive to do so - you would see it after voting. Since SMBC became popular enough that doing that was redundant, the author kept the extra panel around but took out the requirement to vote to see it.
