They are banned because -sadly- people cannot help themselves. We do all of our cooking on a methylated spirit burner. Having said that, nobody in their right mind would go anywhere in the desert in the middle of winter without a hefty supply of firewood. If a camp fire becomes necessary in such remote parts, people should do the right thing and remove any trace of it before they leave the area. We picked up our supply of firewood from mother nature. Fallen branches from the side of the road in the Flinders Rangers, near Akaba Woolshed would you believe???
From the website of Parks SA ...

"Camping .....
No fires are permitted as dead vegetation is virtually non-existent in the park and is protected, so liquid fuel or gas fires only are allowed.
Observe fire bans - generally from 1 November to 15 April (call the CFS hotline for details 1300 362 361)."
