In corporate-y environments it allows for easier tracking of user-MAC-IP mappings for auditing purposes. If you use SLAAC there is no auto-logging as the client simply picks an address itself.
One way to do tracking with SLAAC could be to SNMP scrape/trap ipNetToPhysicalTable of RFC 4293. Another would be 802.1X or MAC authentication (interim) accounting via RADIUS (RFC 2866).
