Few reasons could be - 1. The inner EAP method supports mutual authentication. 2. TLS based outer tunnel could be expensive in terms of crypto and does not offer much except privacy protection. Also pinning server certificate may add overheads. 3. The EAP method will have to support crypto binding (PEAPv2, FAST, TEAP ?) Which EAP method(s) are you thinking of using?
