This is needed on architectures with poor or non-existent unaligned memory support and/or no fast byte swap instruction (such as ARM) by using byte accesses to memory and shifting the result together. This also makes the code portable, therefore the byte access methods are the defaults. Any architecture that properly supports unaligned word accesses in hardware simply has to enable the alternative methods.
