There is a lot of cool things you can do with radius / pppoe systems, change an IP if they haven't paid which can redirect customers to non-payment portals, use radius to dole out IP address ranges, authentication, encryption, and automatic bandwidth rules via MT's. These are just a few of the cool things can result with PPPoE / Radius systems. Like David said all of these things can be done without PPPoE but it is a lot easier to control the customer from an external system with these things in place.
