Not saying that Porsche fluids are not good just saying that there are other options.

Sometimes it is good to have an alternative such as with the fluid in my ZF Range Rover slushbox. The factory said the unit was sealed for life, sticker on the bottom of the pan even says so. This has not turned out to be the case and you must change the fluid and filter at 100k miles to avoid problems. The factory fluid is not available due to M&A activity. Mobil one synthetic ATF is a suitable alternative for this application.

Also not everyone is close to a dealership. Sometimes you cannot wait to get the right stuff and you need some right now stuff instead.
