The reasons to have pawnless tablebases: 1. Endings with pawns can evolve to endings without pawns due to promotions. You need to have all the promotion classes first, to calculate the tablebases with pawns. 2. Even if they do not appear in actual play, they are needed because they can occur in the search.
