It was invented to disallow the easy creation of a ‘passed pawn’ in the endgame. It’s a relatively new rule, implemented in 1880.

Or "thousands of years". Either one works I guess. Maybe we should compromise and split the difference. I propose we decide it was first introduced in the 16th century.

Mentioned in print in 1614 (or even earlier), the en passent rule was common in the 1600s but did not become universal until the 1800s.
