They are for altitude loss, and proper alignment when the course change exceeds
120 degrees (the limit is 90 degrees unless the intermediate segment is lengthened to accommodate a course change of 91 to 120 degrees.)

It's hard to believe that I will be safer flying the racetrack and then the approach to the runway than simply flying to the IAF and proceeding inbound - especially with GPS guidance. I have no problem flying the full published course, done it many times, I'm just curious why they are designed that way. Michael
