Because they correspond to MTP-User primitives that need to be delivered
to the AS, regardless of whether the AS is at an ASP or IPSP.

To use your words, it is required by the "Application Logic" for the peer to
be able to indicate things such as MTP-STATUS.

No it cannot in all cases.  For example, if an entire PC RK is used between
IPSP, the IPSP can use DUPU to signal the availabiltiy of individual user
parts to the peer that cannot be accomplished with ASP activation state.

Another case is where NA is used as a RK and multiple point codes are used at
either end.  I know that you do not agree with this arrangement, but there is
nothing in the current spec forbidding it.

They all have "Use Cases".
