Wax napkins?!?

Q: What is the main job of a napkin? A: To be absorbent

So I'm totally confused as to why, in India, they make wax-coated napkins?!? They do not absorb liquids or even smudges on your fingers or face. I'm totally clueless.
Does wax aid in the manufacturing process? Does it make them more "top-shelf" when they're waxy?
And they seem so environmentally unfriendly while not serving a purpose.

Any feedback as to why this is done would be greatly appreciated.
