Why are IKEA wall cabinets 15 inches deep?

The standard depth of wall cabinets is 12 inches; however, if the door is inset, the depth may increase to 13 inches (set inside the face frame). When IKEA released the SEKTION series, they increased the depth of their wall cabinets by 3′′, bringing the total to 15′′.
