Reading "Alternative Backoff: Achieving Low Latency and High Throughput with ECN and AQM" I get a feeling that this is mostly motivated by keeping single flow utilization over long paths high (correct me if I am wrong). As well as by the intent of making ECN usage more attractive by giving it a noticeable.

FWIW:

On that note - I recently saw a trace, where cubic was doing worse
across a really shallow buffer switch, compared with newreno. One aspect
there appears to have been the fairly significantly larger cwnd while
SACK loss recovery was going on, leading to subsequent lost
retransmissions (which many modern stacks can detect and re-retransmit,
despite this never having been part of any RFC document really).

So, yes, there are specific cases, and a factor 0.5 of cwnd at the end
of traditional slow-start appears to be among them...
