Maybe the author had a need for it, built it, and is throwing it out there for anyone else who might have a similar need? Maybe you need to embed a web server in your app for something? Maybe you're really comfortable with ObjC and just want to get a quick server up for prototyping? Maybe you don't find it to be too verbose, and prefer having code that's easily self-documenting instead of relying on framework knowledge? Maybe you like being able to use a framework like Foundation (which has had 20+ years of history)? And so on.
