The only ligatures in that block were included there for backward
compatibility with pre-existing industry encoding standards. Otherwise,
it is not necessary to encode presentation forms as characters.
Adobe included this and other ligatures in their use of the PUA for
their own legacy reasons; it has otherwise never been necessary for them
to do so in their Pro fonts, and I believe they are moving away from
that practice.
