Another scenario is, in countries where regular SIP / H323 is blocked, IAX is mostly not so, and therefore helps.

I personally prefer to work with H323 / SIP.  But, ground realities are a bit different at times.

Why is everyone dead set on using IAX?  you know SIP works fine and can traverse NAT if you know how to set it up properly.

If you do really want to use IAX, there is a solution: Use Asterisk as
an IAX protocol translator and have it to forward all the calls via
SIP to Freeswitch.

Bad habits are hard to kick.
