The reason is that Joomla components ARE applications. They run in a subsection of a Joomla website. Joomla is moving toward being a rapid web application framework, but it doesn't have all the web development shortcuts that Cake does. So, Cake can help you write a better Joomla component.
Another reason to put Cake in a component is that you can use Joomla to manage user logins, layout templates, menu creation & management, etc., and focus your component code on the specific tasks that Joomla doesn't already handle. It saves time.
