You tie them so snow and wind and cold can't get blown in, then again those are features for cold activity clothing. I guess...

Just pull the string all the way out and they're regular pants again.

those would be nice if you wanted to tuck the pants into some high boots. Otherwise I am sure Rambo uses those drawstrings to strangle people.

Ankle drawstrings are pretty standard on military uniforms (BDU's), as well as ski/snowboard gear...

I have a pair of Damir Doma pants with something similar and I'll tie it so they have more of a blouse effect than a break.
