Server authentication for example, it can not be specified in pom. Projects use project/client specific repository or repositories - wouldn't like to mix settings of multiple projects in user settings, to minimize chance of accessing repositories and resolving dependencies from them in a project where they're not supposed to be used from. Same project specific settings file used by all developers on project, and CI, with credentials referenced via environment variables - each developer specifies his own credentials, works for CI build jobs.
Another one is to be able to specify project specific local repository in project specific settings.xml, to minimize a chance of "it works for me" scenario, just because someone was building another project before build would pass for him but not for others.
