I guess these ones would ask for a single PI assignment? - Is it people who find it to be so much hassle to get an allocation that they end up requesting multiple PI blocks with the same amount of addresses? - People who have multiple sites and if they get a normal PA block will need to split it and end up with a bunch of non-routable sites? Other? Just trying to understand. One last thing. There is something that makes it unusually attractive to have PI space: it usually comes from "old" blocks (192/8, 193-195/8) where you don't have to bother with anyone filtering you if you have at least a /24 (damn easy to justify).
