Generally you brass up the launch area in the hope of putting off the firer who may still be guiding the missile. Much better chance of success than shooting the missile down.
Of course this is also why some missiles have the controls on a cable which could be up to fifty metres from the launcher itself. The launcher cops the incoming lead while the operator just keeps tracking all the way to the unfortunate target.
