Like a hand throttle or a factory replacement?
Makes sense to me. If you only had cable, when you operated the gas pedal, then your hand throttle would move, too. This way, the chain falls slack when the throttle pedal is used...but I'd think that after a couple hundred pedal movements the cable might start to bend or fray. With the pull cord it can stay stationary when it's not in use.
