I'm pretty sure they don't all accept "Why X?" essays.
As somebody with a warning on their record you are having to apply more broadly than most and get all those Dean's Certs.

Every school I talked to accepts "Why X" essays...Their application may not specifically invite them, but their admissions representatives will tell any applicant that it is to their benefit to include any and all information that will help the admissions committee make a positive decision.
I submitted them for several schools that don't ask for them and had conversations with admissions where they were praised as highly informative and useful.
