As far as the history is concerned, I consider that it is already fitted in for any particular campaign that a GM choses to include it in.
The "compatible/incompatible" thing is just which disciplines you can also know maneuvers of while knowing Falling Anvil maneuvers. It has NOTHING to do with what things it can exist in the same SETTING with.
EDIT: As for why anyone would use it, all I will say for the moment is that I have had more than one reaction of "I want to PLAY that", so regardless of the specific reasons, people do want to play it. Or did you mean why a CHARACTER would want to pursue it?
