No, there's not really a good reason, it just means you have an extra part to deal with.
We still use UBNT for our 2.4ghz stuff, but those are the only radios that won't run off 48v on most of our new sites, so I've done some that are 48v only and just use those things on the radios that need them. But if you have more than 1 or 2 things that need 24v, it's generally more practical to just use a bigger voltage converter and run multiple radios off it.
