Answer / n katepalli
The question was why were those commands used.
To my knowledge, proc sql and datasets are interactive
procedures i.e quit command is used after them i.e telling
sas not to expect another one of them .
where as proc print,sort are non - interactive procedures.

Answer / rohit bedi
Proc dataset is one of the procedures which allow run group processing which means that if we write only run after proc dataset, it doesn't get terminated. It continues to run in the background. So we mention quit to terminate proc dataset.
Proc sql also gets terminated only when it encounters a step boundary such as quit, data or another proc statement. That is why you see 'Proc SQL Running' in the editor window top bar when proc sql is used without quit statement.
It is not mandatory to mention quit after proc dataset or proc sql but is recommended as a best practice if it is not required to keep the procedures running as it frees up the memory.
