Self-rising flour has baking powder and salt in it and most times it is bleached. Some recipes don't need as much salt or baking powder in them, like brownies or cookies. AP flour is available (chemically) bleached & unbleached. Some people do not like the added chemicals or the aluminum which is generally in the baking powder used in self rising flour.
