Well two parts to that. First, CT raw out may be useful if other programs such as emulators can consume that format, and/or if that format can represent certain disk data that other formats cannot. Second, passing CT in and getting another CT out can make sense -- the input data is checked/validated, and regenerated in the output (e.g. bitcells all adjusted to 2us in a regular-length data track). So can avoid degeneration seen in multi-generation analog copies f.ex.
