Why should people put their data here rather than Dryad (http://www.datadryad.org/), which assigns DOIs and doesn't require registration to download data sets, and is a non-profit organization, governed by a board including PLoS and Science and powered by completely open source software?

If your papers are already on Academia.edu, and that is where you share your research output, it's useful to be able to share your data-sets and code too.
Of course that doesn't prevent you from uploading data to other places on the web, such as the site you mention...
