> Where is it required?

Lots of places where you might have specific requirements about your authenticating users. E.g. to achieve FIPS compliance, or if your user population is low-single-digits because it's critical national infrastructure.

I most definitely do not want operators of CNI to be "inventing their own" that can trivially allow compromise or weakness. "User freedom" is not the prevailing value in a lot of authentication contexts.
