To provide variety with respect to strength sports, open more opportunities for athletes to showcase their hard work, and give deserving individuals an opportunity to represent their countries.
Some people argue that there is already a strength sport (Weightlifting). However its important to note that, for example, there are various events for swimming and running, emphasizing slightly different qualities, different levels of power vs endurance etc. Javelin throwing and shot putting are also similar events.
Including power lifting would round out the strength sports.

Why powerlifting not in Olympics?
Because Olympic Lifting (i.e. Snatch and C+J) are considered the lifting events of the Olympics. This can be considered unfair because swimming events in the Olympics can give out to 102 medals (34 of which are gold). Why not have more medals given for for lifting events? Especially that Powerlifting and Olympic Lifting are very different. A problem with Powerlifting being put into the Olympics would be the rules of competeing. Would gear be allowed? What kind of gear? How will each lift be judged? There are many Powerlifting federations all with their own unique set of guidelines. It would be hard to come up with guidelines that would make everyone happy. Also, Powerlifting is an event in the Paralympics.
