Do you do this because you would only get a call from a better hand on the flop so you get no additional value? Or is it because you are not sure you are ahead and want to keep the pot smaller?

This situation is kinda WA/WB (way ahead/way behind). If we're behind he's unlikely to have more than 3 outs (AQ has 6 outs, 5x/4x has 5 outs and there's some oesd:s possible but these combos are a tiny bit of his range). Thus we're not risking much by checking.
Mainly I'm checking because a checking might induce lighter calls from worse hands (PPs and other one pair hands) or even bluffs.

Isn't there value in protecting your hand in case you are still good? Or does the money you can win on later streets offset the risk you are taking?

As said before, since he's unlikely to have many outs there's not much value in protecting your hand.
