Well imagine you need only one level of tunneling but rich ECMP. Then with IP encap (even MPLS app demux carried in UDP) you just make sure src UDP port is random and voila works very nicely. In contrast to achieve the same with MPLS you need Entropy label (which is two - first the marker/indicator and then the actual value) + hardware capable of reading it.
