One reason is that you don't need all the time to have the browser when testing, for example when there is a service to be tested - you don't use protractor at all because there are no html elements you need to test, but nevertheless you need to run those tests with Karma. Here comes the usage of phantomejs. Additionally when running tests, with phantomejs you can do screen capture of the running process - can you do that with chrome? Check in more details the possiblities of phantomejs and you will see more differences in when/where phantome can be used over chrome.
