It's actually easy. Inside a company, you buy CALs. If the people are authenticated users, Windows Auth, or just AD accounts, they should use CALs. Per processor is for unauthenticated users, primarily Internet ones.
I agree with your point.
I think CALs may be more difficult to manage when you have A LOT of SQL Servers and different users in your environment. Also, you need per processor licenses in a Farm situation.
