The idea was that:

1. A relative exposure compensation cannot be read from the exif data. 
Of course this only applies when hugin does read the images correctly.

2. If a "true" hdr needs to be generated, the exposure values of the 
camera should be used (unless they are not accurate), because there is 
an ambiguity when estimating exposure and response curve at the same time.

3. It becomes possible to directly combine HDR's produced by hugin from 
the same camera, regardless of the source exposure, as they are all in 
some absolute space. If camera manifactures would use the same 
definition for ISO, this would even work across cameras, but probably 
today it doesn't.
