Because it's still more useful than not having it?

If I see someone with an Asterisk RTT of ~200 ms in 'sip show peers', 
I know their phone is working fine.  But if I see 3000 ms, they are 
probably lagged due to bandwidth contention or other problem.

[asterisk-users] How is a ping test delay ms different from status in Asterisk sip show peers?

[Bruce B]

Hi everyone,

Pinging a phone set I get 0.529 ms round trip delay. Running sip show
peers in Asterisk CLI I see anywhere from 5 milli seconds to 280 ms. How
are both of these different and why are they so different? Is the latter
based on SIP packets return?

I have a paging device that shows close to 280 ms which is not right but at
ping it's 0.5 ms.

Regards,
