It eliminates the need for torsion bars would be my guess. You can eliminate alot of weight too I'd think. I can't say for sure, I didn't design them, but it does make some sense to me, the torsion bar setup on Subaru's before the Legacy came out was pretty old technology. (And not at all alignable unless you did some drilling and such.)
