Ever heard of VoIP? In such applications it is essential to have as
little latency as possible. Do the maths and you will see that you need
a codec frame size between 10 and 30ms to get a decent experience. At
8KHz that's just a couple 100 samples.

PS: I don't dispute the fact that putting such codec in nut doesn't
make much sense, just that these codec are not useless shit as you
seems to imply.
