One reason is that we have boards like Joule where developers are
allowed to connect different peripherals using buses such as I2C and SPI
where there is no native enumeration mechanism. This includes camera
sensors and related so there needs to be a way for a developer to
describe this in ACPI. Just as can be done when using ARM and DT.
