It could be useful if you need to load documents on a large number of flash drives to hand out for some event. It could also be used with a bunch of SDR dongles for monitoring a lot of different radio signals.

I would assume they have multiple USB controllers, so there would be a lot more bandwidth available than just using USB hubs with a normal PC.
