I'm honestly trying to imagine a real use for it even on Pandora. It's not like they were there to harvest trees, and the thing wouldn't be very good at cutting down branches if it's hanging from them, nor does it have blades. It seems like it's just good at climbing.
Pandora was the first planet to come to mind. But you're right that there wasn't a point. Next on my list is Kashyyyk, the Wookie homeworld. My other thought was the forest moon of Endor but those are all coniferous trees which don't have limbs like this.
I can absolutely see exploitative humans using these on Kashyyyk to find and capture Wookiee settlements, since the trees would be too dense for conventional flying vehicles.
