Can anyone tell me in the attached circuit why use always-on optotriac to drive TRIAC?

What is the purpose of using phototriac in the circuit?

This circuit is used to control the speed of ac motor and between pin 1 and 2 of CN2 is placed the RV1 (potentiometer).

Usually use phototriac for isolation but in this circuit, we don't need isolation. There is not a DC source or microcontroller for turning on the optotriac.

The "Null" , earth GND references used for power common are rather meaningless, the way they are used/labeled. :(
