the only real reason of importance is in some cars with single piston floating calipers in the back. The e-brake helps to re-center the caliper on its guide pins so the brake acts evenly. This isnt true for every single piston floater but I have been told this is true for some makes.

edit: and it makes for good 180 degree turns.
