Aluminum soffit is used to cover exposed overhangs on the roof and provides ventilation for the attic. Aluminum is used because it has good tensile strength and can be cut to length on the job site with tin snips.
The answer is obvious, vinyl has no tensile strength and when expanding over open areas, it tends to sag if additional support is not added.
Using the correct vented soffit can greatly reduce heat in the attic and increase the life of the shingles.
