Why?
(I understand the need for pure transfers, but in some cases cleanup is
desired - perhaps for listening copies, online distribution, etc. Why
not Cedar for that?)

CEDAR
Hush! That word ist verboten.
CEDAR is a group of tools for Audio-Restoration, and like any kind of tool its
components can be mis-used.
The problem is that ham-handed people think they can use a tool like CEDAR
right out of the box without taking the time to learn each component of it and
understand what it will do and most of all, when to stop before you over-do it!
I just spent a few weeks learning and trying CEDAR's NR-4 process and was
amazed at what I could do with it on some 1928 Victor recordings.
It is only ONE of a bunch of processes that, when applied together, results in
a restoration that comes as close to what you would have heard if you could
have stood in the studio on the day the recording was made, allowing for the
technology of the day... and after all, isn't that what we want to achieve?
