Why use ECC? (2015)
On-die ECC is so they can give you a memory array with a few faults. It's a yield enhancement not an introduction of ECC as you think of it.
Adding protocol-level ECC on top only helps, although it is somewhat inefficient.

Similar to SSDs, which are constantly switching to less and less reliable cells for density and now need fault correction built in to function at all.
