The russians are uncertain about letting the Dragon too close to the ISS. Dragon has had only one test flight after all. If we only had a reliable and proven Parom tug it could go get the Dragon (or other cargo capsules) from a safe distance. Only a time proven technology would then approach the ISS. (It would also be useful for delta IV, delta IV heavy, or atlas V launched payloads.)
