I know it's intended as a speedup and for protection or rest of the P or C. I didn't say it was intended as a pinch runner rule, just that most use (or at least use that I see) is getting in a pinch runner without a sub. This is especially since the rule was change to allow CR with less than 2 outs.
Also, if the pitcher or catcher is the DEFO, that is a batting order position and there is still a field position on the lineup that says "P", "C", "1" or "2".
