There is also the initial meaning of partitions: what the OS is allowed to access and what it shall not touch.
If I want two different Linux distribution (or two different versions) on the same disk I do not want to use two LVM versions to manage it. Now if the distribution wants to use LVM on its own partition, there is no problem, but trying automagic there is risky.

LVM volumes play the same role. They also make it easy to migrate from one distribution to another, without needing to repartition, and beeing able to switch back easily. Certainly, as other people have pointed out elsewhere here, you can get that by leaving an extra parition, or by resizing them later. But it is much more convenient to do with LVM, since all you need is some unallocated space.
