but why does that happen?

The operating system is copying stuff to the stick until its internal DRAM is full, then the stick stops to write the stuff from DRAM to the flash and then again accepts more from the OS. The controllers on USB-sticks are pretty cheap and simple compared to e.g. SSDs' internal controllers and this kind of behaviour is quite normal for them.
