Because they were needed to emulate
krb5_get_init_creds_opt_set_pkinit() which looks like:

krb5_error_code KRB5_LIB_FUNCTION
krb5_get_init_creds_opt_set_pkinit(krb5_context context,
                                   krb5_get_init_creds_opt *opt,
                                   krb5_principal principal,
                                   const char *user_id,
                                   const char *x509_anchors,
                                   char * const * pool,
                                   char * const * pki_revoke,
                                   int flags,
                                   krb5_prompter_fct prompter,
                                   void *prompter_data,
                                   char *password);

I assumed that the plugin may have to prompt for the PIN.  I think
Heimdal allows getting a password from a file.
