OT: why do trucks need exhaust brakes?

Why do trucks need exhaust brakes? My SDL won't run away down a 6% grade. Is it a 722 feature? Is there a built-in exhaust brake I don't know about? Is there some feature of the Bosch IP that Ford and Cummins IPs don't have (besides being able to go 300K miles without attention)?

Thanks,
Sixto
