IIRC... It has a lot of alcohol in it and people were adding it directly to the filter and being that a VP44 relies on diesel for lubrication it galls up and no workie no more. It was explained to me once a long time ago so that's how I remember it.

I think they also help with lubrication.
Did I mention that ULSD doesn't always provide the lubrication that your pump requires?
Don't know a lot about the other ones but howes is a year round treatment. And there are benefits. I saw a little better mileage (1-1.5mpg) and whether or not you want to believe it the engine did run smoother all around.
The Cetane rating of a fuel is a measurement of how quickly it ignites. Higher Cetane number = less delay in ignition = important to getting energy out of fuel rather than just warming your tailpipe or producing smoke.
Some additives boost Cetane numbers, which supposedly will give you better efficiency/power. Have not personally tested this.
Oh and yes less smoke was another thing.
Interesting. It clearly claims to be a lubrication aid. Using the same "Slickdiesel Lubricator" that the other Power Service products have.

Any issues that could be related to premature wear due to lack of lubricity in the fuel (ULSF)
That's why I said I couldn't confirm it. I wonder if it was something that they added later on or if it's just another one of those theories?
I'm definitely in the pro-additive camp. ULSD, and even B20, needs help.
Stanadyne blue stuff has all the lubricant most any pump will need - great all arounder. It's worked very well on my DB2s the last 390K. My dad has lately preferred to make up his own mix of FPPF lubricity and cetane. 120K on it so far.

So how's this coming along?
Is it gonna be ready in time for the Yooper trip? 
I run a 5 gallon bucket of good clean used hydraulic oil to each tank of fuel on my 6.0 L powestroke when available. Adds lots of lubricity. A quart of brand new atf works good also to a tank of fuel. Transformer oil is really good too. Similar to hyd oil. My blazer will get the hyd oil too when I start driving it.

Relying on the 99-6.0 for another year
Hoping it's ready for dunefest 2017
