Because the load taking capacity of hollow shaft is more as the load per unit area is lesser due to the lesser cross sectional area.

Why the propeller shaft is inclined?

important reason behind inclining the shaft is to avoid/reduce various vibrations that may come up from the propeller and shaft rotation. various rulebooks have the minimum clearances for hull/propeller, so when the hull and propeller are designed and the minimum clearances are not satisfied shaft are inclined. other reasons include better positioning of engine bearers, better flow angle to the propeller blades
