Because it provides IFR-IFR protection in IMC conditions

In C airspace, we get protection from all aircraft, in E in IMC we have the unnown VFR traffic to contend with, who might not have a servicable transponder, who might not understand or want to understand minimum distances from cloud etc etc etc.

E outside of radar provides no protection at all to IFR, so why have it. C provides protection at similar costs to all.

mjbow, you have yet to convince me!!
