For many reasons.

1) VNC is laggy, and resources overhead on both devices.
2) VNC requires networking. With this implementation you can put off WiFi.
3) The user might not want or require shadowing (VNC provides feedback on the screen).
4) You could, in theory, actually put the screen dark and only use the touch part of the LCD screen; not the LCD screen itself.
5) Battery life...

Thats the point. On a NIT, you don't want to have a scrollbar. You just scroll with your finger. Well, unless you prefer to use a scrollbar and/or don't like to navigate with finger. Then Fennec is not useful (right now). Liqbase has the same feature.

If you use RDP on the NIT it is very useful if you have a applications which are made for touchscreen such as a virtual keyboard.
