Because not everyone agrees with TreKing's opinion. I happen to, but
there are plenty of others who wish to enforce license management
schemes. LVL exists for them. Nobody is pointing a gun at your head to
use it.

It doesn't, any more than it says to use ArrayList, the NDK, or
Traceview. You do not have to use every platform capability in every
app.

It doesn't say to use it. It says that is available to those who wish to use it:

"Android Market *offers* a licensing service that lets you enforce
licensing policies for paid applications that you publish through
Android Market."

"Any application that you publish through Android Market *can* use the
Android Market Licensing service."

Etc.

(emphases mine)
