It's generally for big cams that are no longer compatible with vanos. Once you go with some of the more aggressive cams you can no longer mess with cam timing without making an expensive mess. Some do it on race engines as there is no need for the lowend power lost and in that scenario it is done for simplicity, reliability and ease of tuning. Also some stand alone ecus are not capable of controlling the vanos...yet another reason.
