Those are used in drain systems that have a ZERO space to mount a standard P trap assbly. They are used in Slide out drain lines and especially on outside kitchens that have a slide out sink in the outside compartment. If there is space for a standard P trap, the P trap is used.

Why not?
The purpose of a P trap is to be a liquid barrier for sewer odors and gases, to keep them from coming back up thru the plumbing.
