I notice that some Guitars and high-end ukuleles have end pins instead of a screw-in end pin.
What is the purpose or advantage?

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you post a picture of the difference between the two types?
Are they glued in place?
They can be, easily. I put a drop of CA glue on mine because I intend them to be permanent and I’m more interested in security than in being able to pop them out.
Is there any reason why someone would keep removing and replacing them? Saving weight when traveling?
That ebony wood is quite dense and heavy you know.

When I had my Collings UC2, I had an end pin(not a screw in strap button) installed but I didn’t glue it in. I wanted to be able to remove it because of the very tight fitting Collings hard case.
