Perhaps...  In the crazy, wild world of supporting a T.38 platform
with several hundred endpoints (perhaps thousands by now) and
who-knows-how-many fax machines I found that ECM is an optional
feature (as in not strictly required to "just send faxes") that many
endpoints (fax machines, gateways, etc) have broken.  Disabling it
removes it from the list of things that can go wrong and need to be
debugged in the field.
