there are benefits to owl lite or dl over full from a few kinds of perspectives. As peter mentioned, there are computational benefits. This means that it is possible for user to count on a quick and complete answer to a question posed to an application based on a (well implemented) owl lite or owl dl reasoner. It also means that an implementer of the owl lite or owl dl reasoner can build an efficient reasoner on which (s)he can make claims about its completeness. It also is expected to mean that the implementer can build tools based on owl lite or owl dl more easily and more quickly. Finally from an educational perspective, owl lite with less constructors can be presented to users in a simpler manner thereby making it an easier first step to get started in using in applications.
