One reason would be that the client does not want to soak up all the bandwidth. For example, I routinely run an RDP session over my Internet connection. It would be nice to also do some low-level downloading with FTP -- generally I cannot because the FTP client gets data at the limit of my bandwidth and the RDP becomes very sluggish. If I could throttle the FTP to 25% it would make it much nicer to use.
