Gym-goers of all types, but perhaps especially powerlifters, tend to hold a certain disdain for single leg exercises. It’s understandable, as single leg movements do suck.

Not to mention, there are obvious general health benefits to maintaining your cardiovascular health. And if you are a lifter that is bound to a particular weight class, implementing cardio can aid in weight maintenance without forcing a restriction of caloric intake.
