I think the feature was originally designed as kind of a safety
mechanism to ensure traffic would still flow through a topology for one
VLAN if something happened to trunk link status.

I would guess that the Management VLAN was the one they had in mind so
that you could still manage your devices if trunk links failed to be
trunk links anymore.

Perhaps someone a bit more "old school" can shed light on why we are
stuck with the Native VLAN in 802.1Q.
