I believe that what you are getting at is that there is a specific structure of P+/Nwell/Psub that is used for : v/ D6 ^) G2 `8 w7 A5 Q5 y- M

the "bipolar", so you are asking why use that structure rather than simply a P+/Nwell "diode". Here is my take ) x3 N* ^: T4 U5 n5 ^0 M% B

that is probably not modeled for the "diode".
