The main reason is the following constallation:

Public Telecom <---> Zap PRI  <---> * <---> mISDN BRI <--> Remote 
Adminstration BRI Card System

Asterisk is a PBX which has internal BRI Ports. The user likes to use 
his old Remote Management Tool which he can only connect to BRI Lines.

Of course lots of protocols including PPP would go over the line.
