Think of a website with a video gallery, managed by the site administrator who is a regular user with no particular interest on learning what FTP is and how to use it. Or, simply, because you want to give him a web integrated management with no external tools.
Think of a dedicated server with no hard drive limits whatsoever, unlimited infinite disk space. Now imagine the admin wants to upload a 200MB video that will be processed by the application to grab a preview picture, get duration, ... and publish it as flash video on the "latest vídeos" section of the web. How do you manage a 200Mb file upload using http and php only? And more importan, is it really the best way to work with such big uploads?
