Default Why is ADF required for KSAC ILS Rwy 2 SIAP?

There is a lot of subjectivity in procedure design. According to my
source, and I quote:

"This is one of those old ILS procedures done by some of our old
pilot/developers years ago. The in NoPT route goes to the LOM, one
reason for ADF required, and the procedure was generating too many
questions. We have it on the list to fix."


The ADF Required note now appears in the published procedure updated
May 11.

So why doesn't it say ADF or RADAR required? Why can't you get vectors
to final and shoot this approach without an ADF (assuming the VOR is in
service)?
