[Proj] Why?

One burning question has come up in my mind about the need for inverse
solutions for non-grid-system projections like Aitoff, Hammer, etc.: why?
It is easy to understand the need in cadastral work to be able to freely
interchange between Cartesian and Geographical space because the source of
information is in either system.
But Aitoff or Winkel Tripel. What source information is in either projection.
Are people now going to digitize NGS maps? Certainly nobody uses Winkel
Tripel for cadastral application---do they?
Just very curious.
