I can see a couple cases:

Scientific/hobbyist applications where you want to direct connect a lot of data collection sensors.

Or

Developers working with embedded devices who want to have many connected at a time.

Sometimes with speciality hardware hubs can give you issues, or if you need higher overall bandwidth per device they need a connection to the actual controller.

None of these touch the normal consumer though.
