to filter frames in the protocol layer.
for example, for filtering IPX packets in an IP network.

you may also want a firewall that has no ip address yet filters ip
packets through iptables ;-)

Who know why?... ;)
To filter ethernet frames (on link Layer), but not only an ip packets
(on Network Layer) on Your Linux-powered bridge (because bridge is [mostly]
Layer 2 (Linkk Layer) device)

See the iptables/ebtables interaction:

would pass a bridge, such as the one this list is for, uninhibited?

I have two questions along this vein:
Does it offer any features over iptables for just IP users?
Does that mean (and I think it does) that without ebtables IPX traffic would pass a bridge, such as the one this list is for, uninhibited?
